Diet mostly consists of some combination of collard greens or baby bok choy, butternut squash, zucchini and bell and sometimes carrots or cilantro. She doesn't have any fake plants right now and hasn't for the past 1.5-2 years. She doesn't really have anything​ in her set up she could get her...

So the results are back and apparently the pathologist is calling these "traumatic lesions" which is fairly common in lizards. And she may be chewing on something she shouldn't be or chewed something in the past she shouldn't have and now they keep popping up. I don't notice her chewing...

My vet and the pathologist are stumped as to what is going on with Phoenix, so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else has had this problem... Phoenix is 3 years old, I've had her since she was a baby. In February of 2016 she yawned and we noticed a giant (like the size of a grape) growth...

I'm fairly certain she is female. I asked the vet when I took her when she was 7 months old, and I still don't see any boy parts under her tail... I'm going to see if I can entice her with some butterworms or horn worms this weekend. She was pretty lazy again today and decided to sleep early...

She brumated from the end of October until the end of March. She did not sleep the whole time, it was more of a semi-brumation. Most days she would stay in her hide and poke her head out, and then go back to bed early around 3 or 4 pm. Occasionally she would sleep the whole day (maybe once every...

Phoenix woke up from brumating near the end of March, and for several weeks was glass dancing, digging, basking, and generally very active. She didn't really eat much during those few weeks, perhaps a few bites of veggies and 3-5 superworms per week. From what I understand, this is usual after...

That is helpful. What is the ideal UVI? Or the ideal range?

It is almost time for me to get a new UVB bulb, and I am looking at replacing the fixture as well since it doesn't satisfy me at the moment. Since I'm replacing both the fixture and the bulb, I thought I might look into the high output bulbs while I'm at it, but I am confused about the...

On Monday evening I was feeding Phoenix and she went for a cricket and ate a piece of paper towel about the size of a nickel with it. She likes to shred her paper towels by digging. I try to take out all the shredded pieces before I feed her but I guess I missed one this time and I couldn't get...

Yes, she licks the yogurt off her nose. She seems to like it. Or at least not hate it. The Panacur on the other hand... after the first dose she figured out why I want her to open her mouth and is now very stubborn about opening it. She opens her mouth eventually but boy is she stubborn. I've...

Yes, its mango flavored soy and organic to boot. She doesn't seem to mind it. She still doesn't get the whole water on the nose thing, but she never has.

I had no luck with finding benebac in stores so I ordered online. In the meantime I bought soy yogurt so I could start the medication sooner rather than later... How much soy yogurt should I give her?

Double post-oops.

I have two cats, who I had long before I got my bearded dragon. They are both around 6 years old, but still huge brats and get into lots of trouble. So far things have been okay but I definitely worry about horrible things happening. I never have Phoenix out without also having all three under...

Where does one find a probiotic for bearded dragons? Is there somewhere online to order it? And should I wait until I get the probiotic to start the treatment for the parasites? Or can I start it right away? Is there anything special I need to do in terms of cleaning her vivarium? She...

I took her for a check up this morning, the vet says everything looks OK. She think Phoenix might be staying in her cave or under her basking log because she feels safe there. Its their instinct to protect themselves from overhead predators. She recommended that I take out the cave during the...

She tends to spend lots of time in the hide, but awake and alert with her head up. She actually looks pretty content when she's doing that. Sometimes she's sleeping but that's not until after 6 pm usually. Maybe I'll try taking it out when I have a day off. And switch to 12 hours on/off. Right...

The only other thing I can think of is because its summer she might not be sleeping quite as well, so needing to nap more during the day. The sun comes up by 5:30 am and doesn't go down until around 9:30 pm and we have lots of windows with white blinds so even if we shut them its bright. I got...

The uvb is on the back near the top. She faces away from it when she basks. Its been there since almost the beginning and her basking spot was higher and it didn't bother her. And she is lower than the uvb light now. So unless its something that has started bothering her over time, its been the...

Hello! I have a 6.5 month old bearded dragon who seems like she'd sleep all day if I'd let her. I'm still new to the reptile world so I just want to check if I should be concerned or not. Around a month ago I switched from reptile carpet to tile. Around the same time she started trying to dig...
