Very sorry for the unfortunate circumstances! We have had outages due to the weather during the winter at night, and when this happened, we had transferred Sam into a separate carrier, such as a cat carrier, and laid down a blanket for him. We slide foot warmers on the bottom level of the...

Hey there, just checking in to see if you were able to figure anything out. Email me or update us if you have. :)

Bumping this thread to make sure people see the update to Sam's health. For new information, please read the red text seen in the original post. Thank you!

I'm very happy to know that Milo made it safe and sound! :blob8: Hopefully though you do leave them a piece or your mind. It's scary enough as it is shipping them, let alone knowing that they didn't follow through with their instructions for a signed pick up. Either way, I'm happy that the...

The more you talk about his issues, the more I'd swear we shared the same beardie! Again, I'm so sorry that your little one is going through these things. It's tough to even have to watch, let alone record these moments. If this helps, I actually have a large thread on what we had found out was...

Hi there. I'm sorry for the beardie worries! Do you happen to have any images of your little one? It helps tremendously when figuring out what might be going on. Also, a quick background would be very helpful too - its tank size, what bulbs you're using, his diet, or anything else he/she has...

Hey there, I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this! It's incredibly scary! I have a four year old, six months bearded dragon that is literally doing the 'exact' same things as yours is. We have a vet appointment scheduled on the 22nd, Tuesday. Have you been able to diagnose anything yet?

Hi there Parishak. I'm a little late to this thread but I feel like I'm currently going through the same issues that you're having with my little man. Sam has been trying to have a bowel movement for the last 2 weeks or so. He hasn't passed a good, solid poo for about 2 weeks now, all around...

So, here's an update on the little man. Upon noticing his behaviors now, I'm more than confident that that he is wanted to brumate. I found him dug underneath his tank carpet two nights ago! I'm unsure how he even managed that. :lol: As for his condition, we're tackling his constipation with a...

Hi there! Indeed, it is very unusual behavior, but we've been seeing his condition get better as the time goes by. As for his 'bedding', we have scraps of old hand towels that we cut up for him to lay in and sleep on. He seems to enjoy it, but often crawls away and around to different spots...

Alright, so Sam's visit to the vet was quite quick! I'm happy to report as well that we may have figured out the main problem. Here is a chart from Sammy's bloodwork: (right-click, view image, for higher resolution) He happened to have a very low phosphorus level, which was caused by the lack...

You must have a spunky little male then. :D We always love pictures, so feel free to share them if you'd like! And glad I could help.

So Sam has surprised us, yet again! He had another, albeit quite small, bowel movement just now. We had put him to bed about 2 hours ago, and we found him awake, taking care of business. This is sort of a good thing though! I scooped it up and double-bagged it to take with us to his vet...

Totally normal. :) What you're witnessing is your little black beardie establishing dominance. Their beards will generally turn jet black, and they may scurry around a bit, bobbing their heads. Males will often do this as a sign of courtship too, while a female beardie will do a 'waving' motion...

Thankfully of all the mess that has happened, I feel his weight has stayed about the same. He doesn't look too different than normal and doesn't feel like he weighs less either. He had stopped eating about a week and a half ago now, so with him not really having anything in his system and his...

Well, as always, thank you kindly for your help. I'll see what I can do for the little man and hope he's interested in eating some crickets. Until then, I'll probably be checking back here on Thursday after our appointment. Let's hope that if it's earlier than that, it's good news! *Edit* - I...

This was his last bulb. (Notice the lack of UVB! I was so mad when I saw that I picked up the wrong bulb!) http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/intense_basking_spot.php He was basically getting no UVB rays at all. As for him getting natural sunlight, he did, but not nearly as much as he has in...

I have good news, and some bad news. I'll start with the bad first. As said before, yesterday I went and purchased Sammy a new bulb, just to cross my t's and dot my i's, making sure that everything that we had for him was good. I usually keep all of the boxes of my beardie supplies in my garage...

I remember when we had to ship our baby boy from Florida, all the way to Michigan - it was honestly one of the hardest and scariest things I have ever had to do in my life. We got Sam at a PetSmart down there, and he had to only be about four or five months old when we had to move. We were new...
