This isn't my first post about losing Chester.. He was my sweet sweet boy. I lost him yesterday afternoon, poor thing was sick with what I thought was impaction but he pooped got better an then went downhill again. I made an appointment for the vet on the day that he died. The guilt is eating me...

Thanks everyone. It is very hard, I'm not saying its as hard as losing a dog but the feeling is very close. For such a small animal he had such a personality and I hate thinking that I failed him ): I just buried him by my garden today. RIP Chester

:( if you've read my previous post, Chester stopped eating ad was impacted. He did poop and started to get back to normal. Then about 2 days ago, he went completely downhill again. Black beard 24/7, wouldn't eat. Sunken eyes, half closed. I thought he was dehydrated so I gave him 2 warm baths a...

Okay good news is he pooped again today but it was his undigested greens from the other day.

The lump that was on his right side is still there?? Is it possible he is still impacted even if he pooped?

Good news guys! He finally went poop this afternoon. I gave him his applesauce with oil and a warm bath this morning, i noticed jn the bath he drank a ton of water and he never does that. Well then i Put him under his light and went to work. When I came back a nice big poop was waiting for me...

I gave him a bath this morning. He started to poop but again only urate with a little yellow maybe poop with it? I think it's yellow from the olive oil. I felt the lump and it's still there so I gave him a little oil and then put him under his light. Still no poop

Sorry for the late reply! Just give her lots of love and attention. Did you get her as a baby? Was she a rescue? Who were her previous owners? Sometimes if beardies are neglected and abused they can be pretty mean, especially if you get them as adults. I got my boy when he was a month old and he...

Well I just started doing the oil treatment yesterday. I guess I'll continue warm baths and oil for a couple days and if nothing, yeah I'll have to take him to the vet. I just hate this vet! I'm not even sure if she knows what an impaction is! I mentioned to her one time all his food is smaller...

I've noticed petsmart is strange about sellling feeder animals. I know my brother had a snake and he went to get a couple of rats there. They would not sell him rats or mice. Not even frozen? They told us we would have to go somewhere else to find feeders for snakes. Which I don't understand...

Yeah, I hope so too. You'd think since they sell pets and pet supplies they'd have the correct information on how to care for them right?? I find that its funny because at our petco they gave us caresheets that they get online if you get an animal there. For the most part the caresheet is...

Yeah, petsmart has always been better at taking care of their animals. The employees working there seem to know what theyre talking about for the most part as well. Petco on the other hand is HORRIBLE! It takes everything in me not to take home those adorable little beardies that hardly have the...

Well whatever the lump is on his right side, it is a nice a round, maybe the size of a dime? and I can move it by rubbing it. I have noticed within the last 30 minutes though that it is moving lower towards the vent. Hopefully we got something.

And as far as him reaching adult size, I really hope not because he is still fairly small. He is roughly 14 inches. He is such a pain because he LOVES making me worry about him. I got him when he was about a month old and he never had a big appetite like normal baby dragons do and I was always...

Okay well I am currently giving him his second bath today now. I made this one a lot warmer and deeper than usual. He is swimming, and stopping, swimming, stopping. He's been in for about 20 minutes now. I gave him like a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of water orally. I felt his tummy and...

Hi my 9 month old male beardie Chester stopped eating about a week ago, maybe a week and a half. He normally eats between 20-30 small supers a day with a little greens and veggies. Well I went to put his bowl of worms in about a week ago and he looked at them, took a little lick. Ate one or two...

LOL so cute! Yes that is completely normal. Some beardies just love to dig. I leave a digging box with alfafa pellets in it for Chester to dig in. They can digest the pellets if eaten (which I can guarantee they won't. Chester spit the pellets out when he got one by accident!) and as long as it...

I never had this problem with my beardie. I raised him from a youngester and he is a sweetheart. But my brother has a younger iguana and he takes good care of it but he doesn't spend much time with it so it is very aggressive. (but iguanas are known to be more aggressive than bearded dragons) He...

Yes the younger and smaller the dragon, the more jumpy and quick they are. Hold him in the cage and pet him. Don't be afraid, I know it may be scary at first but its a new experience for you and him! Take a towel in your hand and put your beardie in the towel and wrap it around him. They will...

My beardie does not get stressed out by any sounds. LOL lets just say he has no choice! My house is a crazy 2 large loud dogs, 1 small yippy small dog, 3 children, my brother is currently living here, tv always blaring, rabbits, turtles. And my beardie is right in the middle. So like the poster...
