    Rehoming Beardie in Chicago

    Hi all, I have a 6 year old leatherback named Norbert who I unfortunately need to rehome since I am moving back to college and my parents are unable to care for him to the degree he deserves. Norbert is very sweet and adventurous, and I was wondering if any of y'all have suggestions for how to...

    Bearded dragon underweight not eating???

    I have a 1.5 year beardie who is generally active and alert, but has not been eating his greens at all. I always offer them but he hasn't been eating them and he is 19 inches but only about 269 grams ?. He just refused to eat veggies and will only eat some bugs at a time. How do I help him...

    Underweight/lack of appetite

    So lately my bearded dragon, Norbert, has been eating less and less. I've tried to transition him to veggies (I mostly feed collards I grow in my garden) but I still give dubia every day/every other day. However he's just been ignoring his food. He used to be a little pig-- gobbling up whatever...

    Eye Mucus

    I made a thread about this earlier but I forgot to respond because I scheduled a veterinary appointment. However this was canceled and so I am once again inquiring about the issue. My bearded dragon, Norbert is almost a year old and starting three months ago I started to notice his left eye had...

    Lizard Hand-me-downs

    I have an adolescent beardie, and lately he's been growing out of, well, everything. He just outgrew a small half log hidey hole which I replaced with a large fake rock cave. Anyway, my brother has a baby crested gecko and the hidey hole fits perfectly into its cage. However, my bearded dragon...

    Beardie eye mucus?

    Lately I've been noticing that my BD's eye is a little runny. The other one is fine but this one has a lot of mucus and appears to be sunken in a little bit so I can see the inner crease of his eye. Is there something wrong with him or anything I can do to help him? Thanks!

    Baby beardie lethargic and not eating

    My baby Norbert has eaten one cricket since the day we got him. It has been three weeks and he has become increasingly lethargic. Last week he started shaking, so we took him to the vet. They said it was possible he had adenovirus or maybe parasites. They also said he was suffering from calcium...

    Beardie Not Eating

    Okay, so I've had Norbert for almost a week and a half now and at most he's eaten 2 crickets and possibly a dubia. He is incredibly healthy, pooping regularly, quite alert, and showing no signs of his hunger strike except for the fact that he is a little bit thin. His poop has brown stuff in it...

    What Morph is Norbert?

    This is yet another morph question. I got Norbert from a pet shop specializing in reptiles. He has brown irises and nails that are white with a little black strip in them that I assume is the quick (did I spell that right?). He is a leatherback but has super interesting bars and I was wondering...

    New Beardie Not Looking Well

    My little bearded dragon has been acting really lethargic and won't eat. He is napping under his basking spot a lot and has become increasingly inactive. We brought him home on Monday and he has only eaten one cricket. I have offered dubias but to no avail. I'm really scared; I know there is an...

    Reflection problems

    My new bearded dragon's stress marks have almost disappeared-- except when he sees himself in my glass cage. He starts stress marking again and biting the glass, I'm hoping it will go away (it's only his third day here). I'm pretty sure he thinks there is another beardie. He was a dominant guy...

    What set up do I need for my roaches? Not Breeding.

    All right, so I'm getting dubia roaches along with my dragon, and am not sure what the set up would be. I have read many websites, but they all talk about breeding. I understand that dubia roaches are better as breeders because they are more expensive, but my parents flat out refuse to let me...

    Calcium-- do I need D3?

    Okay guys, it's only a few days until I can get my bearded dragon. I was at my local pet store the other day, getting my supplies, and realized they only had the Rep-Cal calcium without phosphorus or D3. It's a small tub with a green label that says "For reptiles raised under natural sunlight"...

    Stress Markings on Dragon in Store?

    I was visiting my 5 inch beardie in the pet store the other day, and noticed a bunch of black squiggly stress marks. I've heard of this on beardies when first purchased, but never on ones in the actual store. It's a great pet store, and the set up and everything looks fine. He looks absolutely...

    New Tank Cleaning

    I just got a tank for my bearded dragon, and I am unsure of how to clean it. I got it from an all reptile pet store and don't know how to go about cleaning it. Would it be sufficient just to wipe it down with water? Soap? Disinfectant? Also, how should I clean the cage accessories and if I...

    Is this a good feeding schedule?

    Hi, I am getting my first ever bearded dragon in about a week, and was wondering if this would be an appropriate feeding schedule. My new beardie, Norbert, is still a baby, about 5" or so. Here is a general idea of what his feeding schedule might be (with variation of course). 8:30* am- lights...
