Thanks for confirming that Cooperdragon :) Just want to make sure my little beardie is happy. I don't think he will feel pushed out at all because he's generally not all that keen on cuddles (he's always been happier left to his own devices) so providing he's not stressed I feel like i've done...

Hi there, We are getting a new puppy next week and whilst we are very excited I want to make sure that this does not upset my beardie as much as possible. Let me make it clear that I never have intention of the two coming face to face, I don't care what people say, animals have instincts and it...

My beardie Douglas who is appx 2 years 6 months old has always been very friendly, enjoyed cuddles occasionally and has only once ever shown aggression and this was my fault (I approached him and tried to grab him from behind and startled him). I have never been worried or concerned that he may...

Hi both, thank your fast responses and apologies for the delay in mine - we've had huge issues with our ISP for 3 weeks now and i've only just been able to reply as visiting my mother this week. I have gathered the following information that you may find helpful: - Substrate is reptile carpet...

Hi, My beardie is about 1year & 7 months old, weighs 590g and is generally healthy. In the recent months his eating has slowed down alot but he has sustained a healthy weight so I'm guessing this is just him now reaching adulthood. For the last 2 months he has gone from pooping every few...

He is very spoilt, it's rediculous how much revolves around him... I like that though, benjamin button of beardies :D Funnily enough he's just finished his current shed and now I can see both strips down either side of his back preparing for shed! Perhaps he's had a growth spurt. :D

Hey guys :) I want to post my experience with my beardie here to see if you guys have experienced anything similar. So here's my cheeky chappy Douglas: He's around 1 year 9 months old weighing in at 532g and is a very happy, healthy chap! :D He is a very strange dragon though and I find it...

Thank you :) they are strange creatures though.. Douglas goes through phases of being really active then being really lazy and right now he's super lazy! Perhaps a little grumpy though as he's shedding again..

Hey Guys, update on Douglas :D He's doing tons better now, he's picked back up on his eating and has gained nearly 30g back in weight. I actually think he is now greedier than he was before he was poorly!! We didn't actually need give him medication in the end as I figured if nothing was up...

Glad he is doing well! Nice to see him enjoying the view :) They seem to love gazing out of windows don't they! Douglas explores the house nearly every day now, he's always tapping on his glass to come out, each week he changes his mind as to which room in the house he prefers. At the minute...

Glad to see Mordecai is doing well, I love how he looks super proud of himself on his recent pics :lol: , it's not nice when they seem to go through rough patches where they slow down on eating and act strange, it makes you stress so much... But it's great that he is better and he looks super...

Hey Mordecai :) Douglas is going through a bit of a rough patch at the mo, but seems to be coming along alright. His eating slowed down a lot and he lost a fair bit of weight along with some tummy upsets, he's been to the vets though for xrays bloods & fecal and all seems well with the...

Oh wow what a cutie! What is his/her name? :D I love the patterns on his face, lovely little stripes above the eyes. Thanks for the kind words, as you can see Douglas is quite fond of himself too :lol:

Hey AHBD, that's great news. Thanks for your input. My husband/mum told me I was worrying far too much and it's nothing, he's just had some really odd symptoms over the last month or so, and I wanted to rule that out.. The picture in my thread is a little old, he was a bit chunkier back then...

Theres this yellow patch that can be seen in the below pictures on my beardies tail, it is bright yellow in colour and doesnt tend to change much he gets warm or cold (whereas the rest of his scales do) he's had this for nearly a month now, it hasn't grown in size at all and no other patches...

So we took Douglas to the reptile specialist, it took us 2 hours in the car and set me back £300. But it was worth it. I was very impressed as to how much the vet knew, it was so much better than any of the appointments we've had with vets who don't specialise in exotics, but claim to know a...

The swelling does seem to have gone down today, it's still a little enlarged but barely noticable so I guess it's just coinsidential that he may have banged his foot or something whilst all of this was going off. I've booked him into the reptile specialist vet, it's a 2 hour drive which I know...

He is around one year (we think) this is the problem we bought him from a pet store so unsure of his certain age although he has only very recently shown signs of sexual maturity. He has a fresh salad every day and around seven locusts some calci worms every now and again, we dust his food daily...

AHBD, thank you so much for helping. My husband is going to get some black cherry extract tomorrow. I'm assuming the fecal test that we submitted today will show nothing of any use if it is gout he is suffering from? I'm going to get in touch with the reptile specialists, even though its a...

Hi AHBD, thanks for replying so fast. I couldnt position him very well at all, he can be so stubborn, I managed to get pics from above for comparrison: The "normal" foot: The Foot that we're concerned about: Sorry for the bad pictures, the angle isnt great and doesnt really do it...
