    Holding out for hornworms

    My dragon is about 9 months old, 464g. He hasn't been eating well for a few months. Eats salad just fine, but will only eat one or two adult dubia per week and only if I hand feed him, he will NOT chase them. Usually just looks at the roach, maybe tongue flick and then close his eyes pretending...

    OK so Im tired of Blatta, have a small group of adults left- went to the bin to feed them all out.

    I have 2 male dragons- 5 & 6 months old. I am getting 2 baby girls in the next month.

    Worried about my new MBD baby

    I brought Westlee home 12/2 knowing she had MBD, pet store was giving her liquid calcium. Took her to the vet last Tuesday, she got a 'clean' bill of health- told to continue 3 units of calcium twice a week. She has a low count of coccidia, not treating at this time. She also had some pinworms...

    Albon dosing

    I decided to start treating my little guy with Albon. I admit I didn't do well giving him the Reptaid, but stools are getting worse- looser and mucousy. Coccidia has increased, didn't see any pinworm ova this time. My vet and I worked out an Albon dose but I wanted to run it by you guys and see...

    Ive had Dinck for about a month, he is doing great. Up until today he has hated his baths, always scrambles to get out.

    Dubia colony question

    I bought a Dubia 'breeding' colony including set up. Wasn't having babies---there weren't any adults! I thought I had adult females because I wasn't seeing any with wings. I had to order more nymphs and got a few more adults, turns out I didn't have adults at all in my colony!! Ugh. So my...
