Everyone tells me this but I can't stand to take it away from the little guy. He loves digging in it and every night he digs the "perfect" hole to sleep in. For now I can do paper towels though

So I only have ground cocoa shell sand for substrate which I had been sifting with a scoop but I feel like that was leaving sand that had touched the poop in the tank and may have added to his coccidia. I recently bought doggie bags so I can grab all the sand in the area of the poop. The tank is...

So Spyro got coccidia medicine and the treatment plan is: give .11 ml every other day for 3 treatments, wait 10 days, then again, give every other day for 3 treatments. He's finished his first 3 treatments and after the last one, I put him in a separate tank and have since disinfected his entire...

I have not! Hmmm. I've just been syringe feeding him. But it smells and tastes like banana (I didn't taste it that's just what they told me) and he still doesn't like it so I'm not sure it would work. Plus I'm scared because he's never been highly food driven unless it's live food, so I don't...

Treatment has been long lol. Still going on. He got through the pinworm treatment no problems. A little grumpy but not too bad. He hates taking the medicine. He's now in his first rounds of coccidia treatment. He's gained his weight back and looks so much healthier. Tomorrow is his 3 coccidia...

Thank you so much for your help. I might keep him in a separate tank for a couple weeks while I treat him for the coccidia and clean his tank/switch substrates. Then move him back once he's all cleared up, and get rid of the spare tank. I read that coccidia is usually host-specific so it's...

Also... he literally is all over my house all the time. Walking around my room, the living room, in my bed, on the couches, everywhere. In contact with my dogs as well. The whole house could be infected... and my dogs could be too. How am I gunna contain and kill it? Is it just going to keep...

I have cocoa shell sand as a substrate... should I completely dump that and switch to something else? He loves his sand to dig "beds" into under his hide. Could I dump the sand in there right now, then switch to all new sand? So dump the sand, take the decor out, spray the tank, soak the decor...

UPDATE: ugh. That vet was pretty much clueless honestly. I was kinda lenient yesterday, when I mentioned his sunken head fat pads and the doctor didn't know what I was talking about. He handed me a pamphlet (filled with things any beginner beardie owner would know) and said "he looks healthy to...

He must have just gotten lucky with his combination of these two particular beardies I suppose. Plus mine is 6 months now so introducing a baby female could be disastrous

wow. That looks easy too! I'll be starting that little project as soon as I get home from vacation. Thanks!

I think a lot about getting another baby beardie. Everyone says you can have females together but can't house males and females together... Well my uncle does. He has 2 full grown beardies. He had 4 living together as babies, but had to rehome 2 of the males when they started getting aggressive...

He just turns six months tomorrow! They sent in his fecal test so should hear back tomorrow or Thursday! I don't want to grow my own bsfl unfortunately. Tried it with meal worms and it's just not my forte. If I order them 1000 at a time and keep them in the basement (coolest area of the house)...

My vet told me he looks healthy, weighing in at 220 grams. I had him send a fecal out anyway and I want to start feeding bsfl. If I order them online by the 1000, how do I take care of them once they get here?

Thanks for your help either way. That's how I usually am too. I wouldn't give my dogs meds unless the doc recommended it so I guess I should have the same mindset with Spyro. I DID find a cheaper vet so he has an appointment this afternoon either way. They'll tell me everything I need to know...
