    Can MBD cause early signs of aging?

    Hi all, thanks for reading. My boy is ~8 years old. He had no heat or UVB on him at purchase (~1 yr old) and was diagnosed with MBD by my vet. He had a crooked back and tail and couldn't walk at all. Overall in really poor shape :( I hand fed him for almost 8 months, he had finally started...

    Dry/flaky skin?

    Hello! Our beardie is ~1.5 years old, and he's started showing dry/flaky skin on his beard. He just shed the rest of his beard 2 weeks ago, and the problem appeared about a month ago. I'm unsure if it's scale rot, a stuck shed, or something else. I had our vet look at it and she suspected...

    Inactive & Itchy

    Hello! Our beardie has been acting a little off lately, thought some of you might have answers as to why. He's eating and pooping regularly (aside from one watery poop this AM), but for the past week has been very inactive. He tends to stay under his UVB the entire day/night, only coming down...

    Slow but steady MBD recovery!

    Wanted to post an update as I was on this forum constantly when I first got my little guy, he was severely malnourished and as a result had MBD. He couldn't walk at all and had trouble eating. With no previous beardie experience you guys were lifesavers! Just posting to say he is doing...

    Pine enclosure (sealing for safety?)

    Hi there! My grandpa graciously offered to build an enclosure for my beardie, but used pine wood. Is there a sealant I can use that is both safe for the dragon and would prevent fumes from escaping the wood? I'd hate to trash the beautiful enclosure :( Wood is untreated pine, we cut it...

    Force feed or wait?

    Hey all! I have a young (4-6 mo) beardie with MBD who's been very picky about eating. When I first got her she had a small appetite, 4-5 crickets a day plus greens, but since I've started her on oral calcium (prescribed from vet) she refuses any sort of food. I know giving her the Ca daily...

    Reptisun 10.0 T5 Fixture?

    Hey all! I just purchased a Reptisun 10.0 T5 HO bulb for my girl, and am wondering if anyone has had luck with a cheaper fixture than the hood? I'm happy to spend the money if that's my only option, but would love to stay cheaper if I can :P Thanks!

    Enjoying the sunshine! Post your pics?

    My new girl LOVES getting out in the sun! Or maybe I just love seeing her move about... She has MBD from neglect from a previous home, and is usually very inactive in her tank. But bringing her outside she livens right up! Scooting around and trying to escape :lol: Any pictures of your...

    Dealing with MBD...

    Hey all! First pot here in regards to my first bearded dragon. Last Friday (May 6) I purchased a bearded dragon + setup from a friend of a friend. They didn't say much about her, just that she had been given to him and they had decided they didn't have interest in reptiles after owning her...
