This has been going on for about a week now so I don't think it is an upset stomach. We are going to take a fecal in in the next couple of days just to make sure. I will definitely cut down on the carrots, it's just so hard because she absolutely LOVES them and it makes me sad to take them away...

I have a dragon that is about 4-5 months old. SHe is doing great and has been thriving since we had her. She is growing VERY fast (doubled her weight in the last week) and has a healthy appetite. Everything seems fine with her, except she has recently started producing very loose (not quite...

I did not come across those.. thanks! :D

Hey guys, I am having a really hard time finding somewhere online/in store to get a nice, big, (preferably 4x2x2) PVC or melamine viv. I know you can build them yourselves, but I have absolutely no time in my life to do that and just want my girl to have the best viv I can give her. She's...

I was actually considering paying the vet a visit. I have a pretty good exotics vet that I used to take my guniea pigs to so I might take a sample there. She still isn't eating like she should be.. but she did eat 1 cricket and 3 worms yesterday. I think she picked at her salad too. I'm still...

Sorry that was my fault, poor choice of words. By mature I meant they had very hard shells and were darker, so obviously they hadn't shed recently. I thought maybe that had to do with her having problems digesting the chitin. But okay, I will definitely start doing that. Thanks so much for...

I don't think the crickets were too big.. we are pretty good about making sure they are a suitable size for her. But yes, it was much too late! It's hard to coordinate her feedings with our schedules, as I am at work everyday from 7a-9p. I will make sure my boyfriend doesn't feed her past about...

UPDATE! I am at work, but my boyfriend sent me a photo of her poop from this morning, and now I am concerned all over again. It is basically a compacted lump of fully undigested cricket bodies covered in what seems to be some sort of clear, thin, slime. I will try to get a picture on here...

Thanks for the reply :) We left her alone for awhile and tried feeding her again yesterday night, and she gobbled up at least 10 crickets! I am so relieved. I was probably overreacting, but I can never be too careful with her health.

Hi guys, I have a 2-3 month old beardie that has been thriving for the first month now that we have had her. Yesterday though, she suddenly stopped eating. She did not eat a single cricket/worm/veg yesterday and it has me extremely worried. She normally has a pretty good appetite, but tends to...

I was so sad to see that he didn't make it. Although, it sounds like your newest addition is a bit more healthy so that is a good thing. Sometimes there is really not much you can do when they are that young and vulnerable.. it's sad.

I am so very sorry to hear about your dog, I'm sure it's a very hard time for you right now. Hopefully your friend can get the little guy in some good health and you can get him back. All you can do now is wait and see.. you guys are in my thoughts and please keep us updated on his status!

What kind of temp/humidity gauges are they? The dial ones are pretty useless, so if you have those you may want to upgrade and you will get much more accurate readings. Is your house humid? I had to buy a dehumidifier for my little one because the humidity in my house was just too much. It is...

Glad your beardie seems to be doing better. Babies can be so hard to take care of, especially for beginners. Good luck and enjoy your new friend!

Thanks! I'm so excited to start her new viv! :blob5:

Hey guys, So I am slowly getting ready to upgrade my girl to a much bigger viv, but have a couple questions. First, at what size would you suggest we upgrade? She is currently about 8 inches long and about 9 weeks old (best guess). We've got her in a 20 long right now, but I absolutely loathe...

There are also certain mannerisms/characteristics that some beardie owners will associate with certain genders, but this is mostly speculation and cannot be relied on for a proper sex. Females tend to do the "arm wave" more often than the males. Males also tend to have thicker tails, while...

It's hard to sex beardies at a young age, but you can try. I could tell at 6 weeks that mine was a girl. You have to be very careful when they are that young though, since they are so fragile. I only recommend doing this if you are experienced with handling these little guys. Hold him/her in...

I agree with rcmorelock, if there is sand in there absolutely replace it. Otherwise, it really shouldn't be impaction if you are feeding the right size of food. Your set up sounds good though, is the UV compact or linear? I'm sure you are already aware of the difference- but make sure to stay...

It sounds like your beardie, despite being the larger of the two, is being dominated by the other. The arm waving is an act of submission, and the other beardie sitting on top of yours to bask is an act of dominance. What's your set up like? Bulbs, UV, temps? Feeding small crickets and greens is...
