Hi, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. PM's are going into an Outbox instead of being sent. I'm assuming the outbox is for drafts? But I don't see an option to send them out of there. Help please! Thanks.

Sorry, not sure if this should be in health or enclosures… Just read above that the Arcadia lights are better for beardies. Wondering if anyone's had experience with them and seen it help with digestion. My dragon has slowed down and only poops once a week, if that. We've tried EVERYTHING...

First of all, to all of you who gave advice, thank you so much! Laura pooped this morning. :) She thanks you all as well! And for the wise poster who suggested switching out the UVB: I did order from Amazon last night. But I woke up early this morning thinking that I shouldn't wait while it...

Hi, I've had very useful advice given to me here since adopting our beardie in January, and am thankful for it. We're still having pooping problems here, and I'm hoping someone can illuminate us. Laura (almost 2yrs) often goes through stages of lethargy, concurrent with not pooping. Now, I...

I've had my 18-month-old female beardie since January, and luckily this is the first time the power has gone out. My house is warm – upper 70s. Can she go most of today without her UVB and heat lamp? I can take her half an hour away to the environmental center where I teach, since they have a...

My 18 month old female beardie is in the middle of the shed. She's agitated right now – rolling and rubbing herself all over the floor of her enclosure. I'm assuming this is just because she's itchy? I have been giving her baths; is there anything else I can do to help her? Thank you.

This may be the dumbest question posted here ever, sorry! It's time for a new Reptisun 10.0 bulb. But I can't get the old one out of the fixture! I no longer have the instructions to it. Obviously pulling it out doesn't work. :-) Can someone tell me how to get it out? Thanks. From a...

The color on her face (she is orange) is fading to an almost whitish color. Could this be related to shedding, or could it be a health problem? She seems fine in all other regards (eating, pooping, very active, etc.) I first noticed it about a week ago. Thanks for any help. How old is your...

My beardie went 6 days without pooping. I bathed her every day, did tummy massage, put her on a heated sock full of rice, gave her warm applesauce/baby food prunes, etc. She finally defecated today. One pile (HUGE) with urates. Another pile of poo that was half undigested worms. Literally a...

My beardie is on day 5 of not pooping. The last time she defecated, there was no white urates, just poop. Could this be part of the problem? I've been getting a lot of help from a moderator on her for the pooping issue. (Thanks, Diane!) But I just remembered about the lack of urates. How...

So long story short, we adopted our beardie 12 days ago. She's had problems with pooping; another very kind poster has helped me with that. We figured out temps weren't high enough, so I've been changing around the lighting. The original owner had 100 W basking bulb. I added on a 60 W to a...

I have been reading on here looking for impaction help. I'm hoping someone can help with clarification. 1). What is a 50/50 bath? And what does pedialyte have to do with it? 2) Someone mentioned giving a dragon who hasn't pooped some baby food prunes. But how do you get her to eat it? She...

We feed crickets to the one year old bearded dragon we adopted eight days ago. But she has only pooped once during that time, and is not really eating greens. Bathing hasn't helped. A friend recommended switching to worms, so I am reading up on the best varieties. But I am confused on dusting...

Or will their bulbs fit into another fixture of the same length? I bought my fixture and bulb on the original owner's advice. (bulb is a reptile glo). But now that I know Reptisun produces better UVB, I will switch out the bulb. Just wondering if I can get away with the original fixture...

We adopted a year old dragon on Friday. She has not pooped since then. I read that giving a medicine dropper of water or two can help. (we've also been giving her baths.) so I went to the drugstore; my pharmacist gave me some medicine droppers. My question is, how do you get the dropper into...

I read this elsewhere, but wanted to doublecheck, especially since she isn't eating any greens right now. We adopted her on Friday; she has not pooped yet. I don't want to do anything that will cause impaction. ? Bathed her yesterday with no result. She is one year old, FYI. Thanks for any help.

After reading about the evils of stick-on thermometers here, I ordered an IR temp gun. But my question is: what if the temp is too low? I have a 40 gallon breeder. The woman I adopted the beardie from gave me a heat lamp (dome fixture with ceramic socket). If the temp is too low, does that...

My 8 year old son named her. ;) We adopted and brought her home yesterday after many months wait. She is a beauty!

So we adopted a bearded dragon and took her home today. Very exciting! I had bought her a cave to hide in – it's actually shaped like a turtle shell. But instead she's sleeping under the paper towels that line her terrarium. Um... Should I be concerned? And while I'm in the behavior form, I...

So we are adopting a bearded dragon and she's arriving tomorrow. Crickets, check! Greens, check! But I see all these beardie pellet foods in the pet store. Should those be offered to supplement their diet? I was hesitant because of the dyes in them. I don't give dyed food to my kids or...
