She had a parasite treatment about 5 or 6 weeks ago. She got antibiotics for them. Maybe the treatment didn't work? Personally I don't think the poop smells awful. Although poop always smells nasty ofcourse. The problem is I just don't trust the vet anymore and it is the only 'exotic pet...

Update. In the morning she seems fine, throughout the day she gets worse and in the evening right before the lights go out she goes full black beard. I expect one of both (or both) of the following: - impaction - dehydration She didn't eat her greens for 2 days now. She did eat her dola's...

Hi AHBD, Good to hear that she looks good and that the poop also does. Does the food cause the urate to turn pink or could it also be something like parasites or other health problems? I still think it is weird that she has been like this for 4 weeks without really improving, and has been...

Thanks Karrie! I see mealworms have a very high P to Ca ratio. I have been feeding my beardie mealworms for a week (about 4 or 5 weeks ago) to make sure she took her antibiotics. Mealworms were the only thing she would eat without a doubt, so it was my only option to make sure the med intake...

We don't know the concept of collard greens and mustard greens here in Europe. Or at least I can't find good information on what is exactly in these groups. Is everything in these groups safe to feed? Things like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower leafs, brocolli leafs etc.? I use endive and kale as...

I don't think it's blood personally. Indeed red bell pepper (and yellow) and carrots. I will stop feeding that for a while and wait for the next bowel movement. I hope AHBD will read this and give some expertise vision on this movement.

A little update: She pooped today and for the first time her urate is really pink. Also the poop itself is a bit loose. See picture: https://ibb.co/m9vNWTN I don't think it is blood, but it doesnt look good to me at all! She got fed carrots, bell peppers, apple, cockroaches, Phoenix worms...

She has been on the floor for at least 4 weeks now. I changed the 2 50 W bulbs out for a 75 and 25 W basking bulb so she can bask on the ground on 1 side of the terrarium and could heat herself up instead of all the way on the decor where she wouldn't come. I am not sure when the right moment...

It is a 25W bulb, the lighting is fine. And so it has been for 6 years. We've been over that before. Could you think of anything else?

Hi Karrie, First I will answer your question about the UVB. There is no screen in front of it. The lamp is about 7 inches above the basking decor. I also use reflectors on the side of the casing. See picture. She gets her water through insects, greens and weekly baths. She never drinks tho...

Hi Karrie, I have 2 internal in the terrarium and 2 external placed inside the terrarium so I think I can have an accurate reading of the temps. In all 6 years i had her she never had any problems with the lighting before and haven't made significant changes to the lighting since. Basking temp...

Hi all, I am worried about my beardie the last few weeks. 2 weeks ago she started to show signs of a URI, so I made an appointment at the vet for 3 days later. The symptoms got less and once at the vet he couldn't tell it was a URI. I got antibiotics for parasites for her after a fecal...

Her appetite is okay. I feed her grasshoppers and meal worms so no way to inject them before feeding. I found out the other name for Flagyl is Metronidazol, perhaps that helps. The vet said it was a common parasite in low count with beardies. Can't remember the name of the specific parasite...

Hi all, Last Tuesday I went to the vet with my beardie, because i was concerned of her health and having a probable RI. The vet couldn't find an immediate problem with her respiratory system. He did find some parasites in her stool tho and gave me an antibiotic for them; flagyl. The first 3...

Hey guys, So I brought my beardie to the vet and he couldn't say directly that she had a respiratory infection. Her symptoms did go less frequent monday and today tho. So could it have been like a cold and she only needed a few days to recover from that with the higher temperatures I set up...

I have no clue to be honest, I think it was all. The impaction issue is off te tracks for now. She pooped an hour ago, but it was somewhat watery. So I will take it to the vet with me to get that checked out too. I have to figure the whole UVB thing out. I have fixed fixtures build in in my...

So, I made an appointment at the vet this afternoon to get her checked out. I have 1 more worry. Since she has the RI everyone adviced me to not give her a bath anymore for now, but I'm worried about impaction. She has pooped Wednesday for the last time and has eaten every day since (6 to 8...

Will do first thing tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for easing my mind. Have a great weekend and I'll keep you posted :)

It's awesome. I saw her cover them up too, have it on video too. She was bumping her head like a maniac to get the eggs into the sand walls. In the end I helped her out, because after 3 hours of covering up she wasn't even halfway there and it was already 10 p.m. One worry for tonight: so I...
