    Debating Euthanasia *UPDATE*

    Lowan and I have come to the end of a long, hard road and am sad to say he has a tentative euthanasia appointment scheduled Monday. To sum it up---he stopped eating, got a distended belly and stopped shedding properly (his skin would look like it was shedding--it just would never come off)...

    Beardie has gas?

    Lowan is 11.5 months old now and is 18.5 inches long and 470 grams. Two months ago, he had stopped eating on his own, lost weight and looked bloated. Since meds and being force fed he's gained 60 grams and is looking much better. The vet ran blood (biochemistry and hematology) and x-rayed...

    Lowan only wants supers

    Little guy seems to be hooked on supers (he'll also eat large mealies). He's 18 inches long, 370 grams (down about 5 grams) and 8 months old and hasn't really eaten any feeders in two weeks. I don't know what to do. This is not a loss of appetite (as I feared he was getting sick) as he will eat...

    How many superworms to offer?

    I know that supers are not necessarily an ideal staple, but as of late with the weather I am unable to get crickets (everything is either DOA or on backorder or suppliers won't ship). Due to that Lowan has been eating superworms as a staple for the past month, and probably will be eating them...

    Predicted adult size

    I was wondering if there was a way (like you can do with dogs) to predict a juvenile's approximate adult size based on present size? Lowan is 6 months, 16.5 inches long and 240 grams currently.

    Lowan weight and age help

    Hi all, Lowan is doing well and is getting their adult enclosure this weekend. I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts about their growth and possible age. I adopted them from a rescue mid-September of this year at about 5 inches long total length and 7 grams. I assumed s/he was...

    Lowan update & questions!

    Lowan (my little rescue I adopted about five weeks ago) is doing well. I'm not sure on their exact age, estimated at about 6-8 weeks of age. In the month that Lowan's been home they've nearly tripled in size. S/he's currently 6.5-7 inches long nose to tail tip and weighs 13 grams---little...

    Alternate Diet For Hatchlings/Juveniles

    I was wondering if someone with a little more experience could weigh in on this. Right now, I have been doing the standard gutloaded cricket-dominated diet along with some salad for snacking on for Lowan my hatchling (rescue so exact age unknown, based on a size of 6 inches and weight of 10...

    Hi all from Lowan and me!

    I'm a new beardie owner---(though not entirely new to beardies as my roommate has Bentley an adult male) and adopted Lowan the hatchling from a rescue who was at a local expo about three weeks ago. Lowan is an itty bitty little hatchling of unknown age but considering s/he *just* shed and after...
