I went to the vet for my beardie in late May about because I was concerned about Mica's gout, and the vet took an x-ray while we were there. He pointed out that she appeared to be gravid, and to watch for digging behavior. It's now August and she hasn't shown these behaviors. How long should I...

So, my beardie was recently diagnosed with gout. Based on my research and comments made by the vet and people on this site, what's mainly contributing to her swelling is the uric acid that's she's not able to appropriately filter out of her food. Until I realized this was a problem, I'd been...

My beardie is gravid (verified by a vet) and I'm trying to prepare a place for her to lay her eggs. I'm 100% sure they'll be dud eggs, but I still want to provide a comfortable place for her when the time comes since this is a first for both of us. I've heard of people using dirt or damp sand in...

A couple weeks ago I noticed that one of Mica's arms was a little swollen, but I thought it was just her putting on a little weight. I don't know how I didn't think through that only one of her arms was swollen. :banghead: I took her to the vet about two weeks ago to the only one that sees...

My nearly three-year-old beardie sounds... congested. I'm not sure how else to describe it. Last night when he'd exhale, it sounded almost like he had some sort of mucus in his throat or something, and so would have a wheezy sound when he'd breathe out sometimes. Tonight I noticed that he's been...

I took a nap this afternoon while Cricket was out of his viv, and I woke up to find that he'd crawled up next to my head. His tail was curled alongside his body and somehow part of it was under my ear and I tell you, it's really weird to wake up with prickly spikes on the side of your head...

I've got a male beardie that's 2 1/2 years old now and I've never had any issues with him. He's well behaved and mellow, and seems to be in a decent mood most of the time. What's caught my attention now is this odd twitching that occurs on his right side in the space between the end of his...

My beardie's two years old, and I got him a year ago from a friend who got him six or so months prior from another guy, so I'm estimating that my dragon was six months old when my old friend decided Cricket's original owner wasn't caring for him properly. One of the first things I noticed after...

I just joined this awesome site. I've visited now and again over the past year, starting when my old friend gave me his bearded dragon last April, and I've been grateful for all the information that I've been able to find here. Like the rest of you, I'm the proud owner of a beautiful bearded...
