    How do you get a dragon to eat veggies?

    So.. Spike just turned one year old last month. I have offered her greens every day of her life here with me. She absolutely refuses to eat them. She used to eat a bite or two from my hands.. but she has NEVER eaten veggies willingly. I have tried every beardie friendly vegetable there is. I...

Roaches, super worms, phoenix worms, wax worms, crickets... even tried to give her kale today.. even though its not the best for her. I have tried bearded dragon pellets, dry...

    Help with phoenix worms!

    I had fed Spike "reptiworms" before and she loved them... so last week I thought I would treat her to some phoenix worms. I assumed they were they same thing (and they may be). I fed her 100 phoenix worms yesterday.. in two seperate meals (50 and 50). Today when she did her business... there...

    Weird leg movement

    In the past few days I have noticed Spikes legs doing a sort of twitching thing. She is fine when sitting still.. but then she lifts a limb to move it and its very shaky. She started scratching at her hammock just now and every time she picked up her arm to scratch it was all shaky and twitchy...

    UVB too close?

    So.. Spikes appetite has sucked for a while. Back in November I bought her a dubia colony. She LOVED them. She would go nuts as soon as they hit the tank floor. She loved them so much she was eating 18-20 a day. I ran out of edible sized bugs by the end of november. I tried feeding her...

    Could Spike be semi-brumating?

    This is Spike for most of the day. Some days she comes out very very late.. like 6pm and sits under her mvb. When she does that.. I dont turn off her light untill she looks tired.. sometimes 1-2am. She hardly ever eats.. maybe 2-3 roaches.. every 2-3 days. She poops once to twice a week. She...

    Not enough dubia to keep my dragon fed...

    How many dubia does it take to sustain a juvenile beardie? I bought a colony of about 100 adult dubia.. and a total of about 1000 roaches of varying sizes.. most in the medium range. I still have all the adults.. which are too large to feed to Spike.. and I have babies.. but I have run out of...

    Do Juveniles Brumate?

    Ok first ... Spike is a 5 month old female bearded dragon, 16 inches and 300g. For the past week.. whenever I turn on her lights in the morning.. Spike goes and hides in her hide.. and UNDER her blankie.. she wiggles herself under there which is an interesting feat because her hide holds down...

Now she refuses crickets. Over the course of these two weeks her poop has become runnier and runnier. Two weeks...

    Help!! Dubia vs cricket

    I recently bought a dubia colony. Spike will no longer eat her crickets. This isnt a problem.. my concern however.. is her poop. She had normal solid poop and solid urates while on crickets. Since switching to dubia her poops are no longer formed. The come out all ... crumbly is the best way to...

    Is it ok to feed Dubia Lucky charms?

    Thread title says it all. I have an excess of marshmallow cereal that my children will NOT eat. Is it ok to feed to the dubia? Before this I was feeding them the powder at the bottom of the dog food bag.

    How do I keep dubias warm?

    I have a fairly large dubia colony in the garage. My husband refuses to let them anywhere inside the house. Up till now it was fine... but it finally got cold in Texas. I have a heating pad from walgreens under them.. and that would work fine if it didnt auto shut off every 2 hours. Last night I...

The doc gave her Albon mixed with something for the protozoa. She has had her first dose.. which was really difficult to...
