So, my beardie just turned 19 years old this week. Her behaviour has changed a lot in her old age over the last 5 years (she can move around fine, but she needs to be hand fed daily), but in the last few days she looks very different. Suddenly she seems veeery skinny; she is bright yellow and...

Hello, all! I haven't been on here in a long time as life has been super hectic, but I'm wondering: My nearly 15yo beardie, Ryu, has been diagnosed with a respiratory infection for the first time ever :( She was prescribed baytril 25mg/ml 0.14ml for 14 days every 24hrs, and her weight is 354g...

Hello, all! So, unfortunately my recent rescue, Lazarus, passed away yesterday. I'm really heartbroken about it, as he appeared to be slowly improving over the past few months. It was very sudden, and I'm honestly still reeling about it. I'm going to bury him tomorrow at a property my...

So, I recently acquired a rescue (made a few posts about him) in very bad shape. I've been doing my best to help, but I believe he is starting to go downhill, and I'm having a hard time with it. I'm so angry and sad that someone could let an animal get so malnourished and dehydrated that...

Hello again! I know I said I wouldn't post anymore about my rescue guy (viewtopic.php?f=45&t=220260), but I noticed last night a yellow/orange discoloured spot on his gums. When I initially got him Nov10/15, I did check out his oral cavity and noticed that the teeth on his lower jaw seemed...

So I made a post in the beardie ER forum: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=220260 And am specifically looking into how much and how often to feed. I don't have a lot on me now, and had not much luck during the STAT holiday collecting supplies. I'll be calling the vet ASAP in the morning, but until then...

So, long story short I picked up a free dragon today: I don't know anything about it except that the owner who surrendered him had him for just under 2 years, and before that he was a rescue. Apparently, according to the lady who gave him up, he was in rougher shape than this when she first...

So, I feel a bit like a "fair weather friend" on these forums. I haven't been on in months (new job and lots of other things taking up time), but I could really use some help if anyone has any insight. In May my 13 year old beardie ate a 1.5inch piece of aquarium tubing (long story, I posted...

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience with basilisks. A situation has come up, and we may be getting one (a friend who has a reptile store is trying to rehome an adult female). She is healthy, beautiful and fairly well handled. My hesitation stems from there not being too...

Hello! So I made another post quite recently: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=216096 My beardie ate a piece of aquarium tubing that wasn't passing, so I took her in for an endoscopy. The endoscopy was not successful, and they had to go in surgically to remove it! My poor little girl is recovering now...

Hello, everyone! So my old lady is going in to the vet on Wednesday for an endoscopy to remove a piece of aquarium airline tubing from her upper GI tract. On Apri 7th (her 13th birthday... or hatchday?) I decided to give her a bit of juice through a syringe as a treat. On the end of the...

Hello, everyone! A while ago I made some changes to my elderly bearded dragon's feeding schedule, and she seems to be doing really well with it (she gets a lot of mixed, soft bodied worms, and refrigerated crickets). I had managed to find a place about 100km away that regularly stocks...

I woke up this morning and she was in her laying box. Didn't see her digging or anything, but as soon as she saw me she hopped out. I haven't handled her or anything since I noticed this...

Hello everyone! So I have an older female dragon who will be 13 in April. She is definitely female (confirmed by several herp vets throughout her lifetime. I've also had a peek myself and she looks to be a she). I've known this since she was quite young, so I've always prepared myself for...

Hello, everyone! I was just doing a bit of research regarding vitamin/mineral supplementation in reptiles, and I saw in the article that it was specifically mentioned that freezing leafy greens destroys thiamine(B1). I knew this, but I unfortunately learned it the hard way about 5 years ago...

Hello, all! I recently acquired a seconds beardie (I've only ever had one, but I've had my female for ages). I'm pretty sure he's male (checked the undercarriage). He's not in great shape: Underweight and definitely dehydrated, but he moves around his terrarium to occasionally eat a bite of...

Hello, all! I recently adopted another bearded dragon. I wasn't planning on it, but I saw an ad online that broke my heart, and here we are! I need some help. I have experience with beardies (my gal is 12 years old, going on 13), and through her I have learned a lot about getting beardies...

http://www.usedpqb.com/classified-ad/Bearded-Dragon-and-Tank-OBO_23472635 I was perusing the local exotic animal section (as one does... Lol) and I saw this guy for sale. In the pictures I noticed he only has a heat lamp (which is very far away), didn't see a uvb fixture (although I guess it's...

Hello! I'm just wondering if anyone out there has an older bearded dragon and could give me some perspective on behavioural changes with advanced age :) My buddy turned 12 this year, and I'm looking into what sort of changes I might have to make as he gets older (e.g. I'm going to start...

Hello everyone! So this last April my little buddy celebrated his 12th birthday! Wondering if anyone else has an older beardie and what kind of foods they are eating and on what schedule? My fellow (although I'm certain he's female, I've been using male pronouns for so long that it's hard to...
