    Red currants?

    I bought some red currant for myself and I'm just wondering if I could give my beardie some for an interesting diet variation. Just wondering! -thanks! :D

    New rescue has giant swollen leg!!!

    2 weeks ago I rescued a young juvenile beardie. He was pretty thin, missing one of his front legs, and being dominated by other beardies that he shared a small tank with. He was doing well; his leg is healing, he was beginning to eat on his own, gaining weight, and just seeming healthier and...

    Bye, Little Mazais.

    To Mazais. I have chosen not to use past tense when I am referring to you. But I will use past tense when I talk about your illness. Because you are not truly gone. You will forever live up in the clouds, in heaven. And in my heart. But you are not sick anymore. Your illness and suffering is...

    Mercury Vapor Bulbs?!

    Hi! So, soon it will be time to replace my beardies' UV bulbs, as they are now 6 months old. But, lately, I've been contemplating whether I should switch to mercury vapor bulbs for UV lighting and heat. I know that they only need to be replaced yearly (though they are more expensive), and that...

    Stress Breathing or RI? I'm really worried! Help!

    Hello. My bearded dragon has a history of Respiratory infections. Right now, I'm treating her for some unknown infection. But not a respiratory infection. I'm treating her with 0.3 ml of SMZ-TMP every other day, and I have only one day left of the treatment. Three days after I began the...

    Emergency! The film of the ear has broken!

    I was trying to get some retained shed out of my bearded dragon's ear with some tweezers, and then he flinched and the tweezers caused a smallish tear in the film that covers my bearded dragon's ear. It bled a little, but now it's stopped. Now, though the hole the part of the inside of the ear...

    Prolapse? What should I do?

    Today I was giving Mazais (not the bearded dragon with URI, that's Ropey) a bath. As in all baths, I massaged her belly. After massaging for about a minute, I saw what I at first thought was poop coming out of her vent. Upon closer inspection, I found out that it was a prolapse. Probably a Colon...

    URI and Fungus? (Suggestions please?)

    Hello, I took Ropey to the vet today because I suspected a Upper Respiratory Infection. Unfortunately, my suspicions weren't wrong. The vet said that Ropey has a moderate Respiratory infection, but he called it Neumonia! Are those the same thing? The symptoms are labored breathing (the breaths...

    Possible supervolcano eruption and the resulting temps?

    If the supervolcano erupted under yellowstone national park in the U.S., and the temperetures went down by 10-20c globally, would beardies in the wild be affected? I'm not saying that I believe in all that, but I am wondering. So for the typos, I'm writing on my phone.

    Help!! Sleeps most of the day, possible parasites?!

    She has been on and off lethargic for the past week (she's 2yrs old). Some days she sleeps/stays in hide all day, on others, she only does it until late in the morning. She hasn't lost any noticeable weight. Yesterday's poop was normal. Note that they usually only poop in bathes, which they are...

    Salmonella outbreak, food worries...

    On the news, I read that there is a "Salmonella outbreak" in the U.S right now (which is where I'm living for the time being). I bought my beardies about a year and a half ago, and have never had any salmonella or parasite problems. I do, however, get my reptile food (mealworms and crickets) at...

    Urgent health question (for bird owners)

    So, I know that this isn't a budgie forum, but I just trust the folks at beardeddragon.org the most. Anyway, don't answer this if your not knowledgeable about budgies. So lately my budgie has been very fat. I bought him/ her (I'm unsure about the gender but I'll just call my budgie him for now)...

    Discolored urate and infrequent pooping?

    Lately my beardies haven't been pooping daily. I only see poop about twice to three times a week if I don't bathe them (I've been bathing them every day now that they aren't really pooping on their own). The poop is normal though. It's solid, and it doesn't reak (but I can't say that it doesn't...
