    Sharing food with my beardie?

    I have a homemade soup in the fridge with onion, garlic, ginger, sweet potato, broccoli, collard greens, kale, cilantro, homemade bone broth, a touch of fresh squeezed lemon juice and some salt. The onion, garlic and ginger were sauteed in extra virgin olive oil and pastured lard. I am running...

    Signs of too much & too little UVB?

    Hello, So I am home with my beardie almost every day and I watch for signs that she is getting too hot/cold and adjust her heat lamp accordingly. When she's too cold, she feels cold to touch and all she does is lie there and look lethargic. When she's too hot, her mouth is open wide and she...

    Lizzie has been hiding for days!

    It worked! Lizzie's whole tank is warmer now and she's active, healthy and curious. Looks like having a hot basking spot is not enough. If the rest of the tank is too cold, our beloved beardies will not be able to move and they will start looking for a place to hibernate.

    Lizzie has been hiding for days!

    I think I've figured it out. Lizzie is just too cold to do anything. We had a pretty intense heat wave last week - the apartment was sweltering. For once, Lizzie was up and about all day, every day running around, exploring, basking, and eating. She was eating and pooping every day and the tiny...

    Any Canadians have any darn lighting fixture to recommend?

    Here's where I ordered mine from!!

    Lizzie has been hiding for days!

    When I put her back in her tank last night, after photographing and weighing her, I put her on TOP of the log instead of under it. That was enough to get her up this morning... a few minutes after the lights went on she climbed up into her basking spot. What an odd little creature. But that's...

    Lizzie has been hiding for days!

    Thanks for the advice. I adopted Lizzie last August, her previous owner said she was 2 years old. So I will be celebrating her adoption day as her birthday I suppose. :) She brumated for about 4 months, from Nov-Feb.

    Lizzie has been hiding for days!

    Brumating? In the middle of summer?? I didn't know they did that. Here's our current weather forecast in case that's relevant (I'm in Victoria, BC, Canada): http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r1/montacorre/Mobile%20Uploads/image.png

    Lizzie has been hiding for days!

    Hi all, Sometimes Lizzie doesn't feel like facing the rest of the day so she crawls into her hide (in the middle of the day, in summer) and either goes to sleep or lays there with her eyes half open. When she does this, she will not come out the next day; I have to take her out, warm her up in...

    Tremors an kinks in her tail... MBD?? What should I do??

    Hey guys, So I've finally solved the problem... had to wait all winter for her to finish brumating before I could figure it out. She awoke from brumation about a month ago and just sort of laid there, eyes open, unwilling to eat or bask or do much of anything. I started taking her out in the...

    Need some brumation advice please!!

    Thank you! Should I not have fed her? I'm concerned that the food is rotting in her stomach now... how do I know when to start feeding her again?

    Need some brumation advice please!!

    Around November Lizzie started eating less and less, and then started refusing food altogether. She spent less time basking and more time hiding from her light. Eventually, she was sleeping (or at least trying to sleep) all the time. Classic brumation, right? Well, I thought that the heat/UVB...

    Tremors an kinks in her tail... MBD?? What should I do??

    I just took her out for a sunbathing session. :) It's hard to tell whether it's gotten worse. She only tremors very occasionally, and she's let her back legs go limp since I got her. Ive only had her a few weeks.

    Tremors an kinks in her tail... MBD?? What should I do??

    I think you may be right. However, is it possible that her bulb is fine, and she just came to me with MBD? How long does it usually take for them to recover from these symptoms? Could the Exo Terra website be leading people on? This is what it says: "The Exo Terra Solar Glo is the choice of...

    Tremors an kinks in her tail... MBD?? What should I do??

    Hi everyone, I just adopted Lizzie a few weeks ago. She is my first beardie. The longer I care for her, the more I realize what rough shape she was in before I adopted her. Now I've started to notice tremors in her front arms sometimes when she moves them, and occasionally twitching muscles...

    Plastic in her poop! :(

    Thanks guys! She seems a lot happier now that the plastic is out (or at least some of it). She was a lot more active today, running around the house and outside and I even had to chase her into the bushes. She's never run off like that before. I guess it's time to make her a leash!

    Plastic in her poop! :(

    Hi there, I just adopted Lizzie two weeks ago. She is 2 years old. Before she came to me she had no lights or heat lamp, wasn't really eating or pooping, didn't move much, and she was underweight. She didn't really get any vegetables or vitamins. Over the past two weeks she has been eating and...
