HI My beardie Nioka was being treated for an abscess in his jaw for the last couple of months but I've noticed he's not walking properly as well. Kind of flopping his way around. Had him at the vet yesterday and she took blood and did an x-ray on his arm after he flinched when she manipulated...

Ugh, injecting antibiotics into a tiny little leg is NOT easy. Nioka is to be given Fortum for an abscess in his jaw and I was so nervous getting up this morning knowing I had to do that. The vet told me to put them in the freezer (not the fridge) so first I had to defrost the thing. Held it...

Hi, I read this story recently, of a poor little beardie here in the UK called Tilly who ended up being neglected on purpose by her owner following the breakdown of his relationship. She was found and taken to a local rescue centre, but sadly it was too late for her. It's heartbreaking...

My beardie seems to only want to eat Morio worms. It's annoying. I've tried him on calciworms (he'll eat one or two and ignore the rest, so they just die off), locusts (not interested) and dubias (will eat the odd one when he feels like it.) It's worse than having a kid! I spent lots of £...

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any idea how I can loosen some retained shed? It's been on his nose for months - it went opaque like it was going to be shed but then it went back to the regular skin colour instead of coming off and the area has been all raised and pitted since then, you can...

Hi, My beardie's basking light didn't come on today and when I replaced it, thinking it had just blown the new one didn't work either. So I reckon the ceramic holder is broken. It's gone a kind of yellowy colour. I went to a couple of pet shops today but have had no luck getting a suitable...

Hi, My beardie has had this thick lump of crusty skin on his eyelid for a while now. I asked about it last time I had him at the vets and he examined him and said if it got bigger to come back. But he didn't say what it might be or tell me to put anything on it. It's come off again with his...

Hi everyone, I'm due to take Nioka to the vet again on Friday as I believe he may have blocked femoral pores. He's always had an occasional twitch in his back legs and I've asked the vet about it and he thought it might be something neurological. It's definitely not MBD, he's had x-rays and...

Hi - I'm new here :) I live in the UK, and have an adult male beardie called Nioka. A few weeks back I discovered a small lump on his jaw, and the vet said he'd probably hurt himself somehow. When she checked in his mouth he'd broken a tooth, so she gave me 2 types of antibiotics to give him...
