    Still Won't Feed Himself/At My Wit's End

    Hey all! It's been like, a million years but I'm back again with what's probably a reoccuring question. Zero has never fed himself and he still won't and I'm at my wit's end. I've been through a bit of depression these past few months and I must admit I've neglected his daily feedings and I...

    Brumation/Dehydration/Nutrition Question

    So it's been SEVERAL months since I've been around, but I've got a question for all you Beardie lovers! Brumation, it happens, he sleeps a lot and is generally inactive. I got that. My question has a couple parts. I've noticed a lot of beardie pictures where their eyes are sort of protruding...

    Mites?

    Just wondering what the signs and symptoms of Mites are. I think I may have seen something crawl down Zero's arm this morning, but I didn't see any others and it disappeared quickly. I wanna know what I should look for with Mites so I can start the battle ASAP if needed. Thanks for any help!

    Jumping at UVB?

    Something I've noticed Zero doing almost every morning (he just did it twice today) is he'll run along the bottom of his viv looking up at his UVB bulb (it's attached to his screen viv top) and then jump at it. He always jumps at the same end (the end of the fixture with the switch) and I was...

    Watery Eye(s)?

    So I know I've posted about Zero keeping one eye closed before, but I've discovered something recently.. His closed eye has kinda switched sides and the one that had been closed the most, is now watery when he opens it. I'm not sure if this means anything is wrong, and he does open both when...

    It's about that time! Is it a boy?

    Please please PLEASE tell me Zero is a boy :study: He's a little over 9" now, so I figured it's time to ask. I tried to get a few, so I hope it's easy to tell...

    Basking at lower temps?

    So Zero's been a bit strange lately in that he refuses to bask on his basking rock. The basking temp is always between 105F & 110F (I've been trying different levels to see what he prefers) but he always leaves after a few moments and either sits on the floor or goes on his hammock and stays...

    Some People Should Not Have Pets... (no pics)

    I'm reading reviews of items on PetSmart and Petco, trying to find a good basking rock/platform for Zero since he's beginning to become too tall on his hind legs for the cave he has now. As I'm reading these reviews, I come across one saying I'm sorry... you got bored of your Leos? And you...

    Where Do Your Beardies Love to Explore?

    Whenever your beardie is able to stretch his or her respective legs and run around the house, is there one place they always go back to? For instance, Zero's favorite things to do are climb all over me and then scamper to his favorite curtain and climb all the way to the top.

    Zero Won't Hunt?

    Long story short I'm in between feeders right now so I had to buy crickets. I've got Zero in a large plastic storage tub (semi transparent) and all he does is walk to the walls and try to climb out. He is completely ignoring the crickets. Today I'm going to buy him some small supers because...

    Scaredy Beardie

    So I'm pretty sure Zero is afraid of Dubia. I put him in a Tupperware with Dubia and he kept backing away. He didn't puff, hiss, or turn dark, but he did try to get away and scraaambled outta the Tupperware soo fast. :lol: Anyone else have a scaredy beardie?

    Brumation is "Bad"?

    So I don't believe any of this one bit BUT my vet basically told me this: Brumation is the owner's decision and isn't a good idea. She said it's dangerous to the beardie's health and could prove fatal. Basically it's almost impossible for us to reach the cold temps required and the beardie...

    First Time Coccidia Battle [new question]

    For those of you who have dealt with Coccidia, what do you recommend as far as cleaning schedule etc etc? Zero's favorite thing to do is poop on his basking rock and/or hammock... He's gonna have to have the basking rock in there, but I know furniture is supposed to be limited. Any pointers?

    Water from Syringe?

    So I was just wondering how you go about offering water from a syringe? Zero seems hydrated enough because I bathe him daily, but I was just curious how offering water from a syringe works. Do you just drop it on the nose? Do you try to get the syringe in his mouth? Thanks guys! :)

    Under Tank Heaters?

    What are your opinions on under tank heaters? I have Zero in Critter Cage 36.3" x 18.8" x 17" which is about a 40gal, and I have him sitting on a platform close to the ground. Now I do not control the heat in my home, my landlords do, and it can get kind of cold and kind of difficult to control...

    MVB vs ReptiSun 10.0 vs Arcadia?

    What are your thoughts on MVBs vs ReptiSun 10.0 fluorescent tubes vs Arcadia tubes? I've heard a couple of times that some beardies respond better to MVBs than ReptiSuns and then some say Arcadia is the best of all 3. Arcadia is now available in the US and I'm just trying to troubleshoot Zero's...
