We did try a couple of doses of probiotics and of bee pollen. It's been difficult to get him to eat it though. I may have seen slight improvement the first couple of days but not enough to be significant. Were you ever able to get your beardie to eat veggies again? I feed him a slurry of it...

My beardie was on Baytril (an antibiotic) and he completely lost his appetite and started to circle the drain. It did clear up his ongoing diarrhea, thankfully. However, I had to stop the treatment half way through (with the vet's blessing) because it was so harsh on him. Months later he is...

My beardie's urate seems to be encased in a gelatinous pinkish/tanning membrane. He did have raspberries this week, could that cause it?

I just wanted to post an update. Kendrick's appetite went south, his diarrhea became more frequent (a few times in a day) and we took him back to the vet again. They performed another fecal and again there was nothing. They gave him metronizadole and sent hia fecal out to another lab. The...

Yeah mine seems to be okay with the flies.

We always fed him very small supers, and I always pick out the freshly molted as much as possible. He used to digest the BSFL just fine but when the diarrhea began is when I noticed they were coming out undigested. Poking holes in the bsfl helps but still a few come out undigested. I will try...

I will post pic of next BM. He did it on the tile floor and the watery stuff spread out everywhere. We try to put an extra absorbent paper towel underneath him when he goes and it sops up a lot of liquid. But sometimes it's less water and more of a smushy puddle, for lack of better...

Thanks for the response. It's good to know that someone else has a healthy dragon despite persistent loose, watery stools. I have not tried probiotics. Did you just feed him yogurt or a special formula? How much extra water do you give him. Kenny will drink from a medicine dropper, but I...

My beardie has had diarrhea for probably at least 3 months, every other day. The alternate days he doesn't "go." His fecal only showed some flagellates protozoans and he was treated with metronidazole. His diarrhea persisted and another fecal was done, showing same issue, nothing else. The...

Update - Last night we switched back to the Reptisun T5 and 100 watt bulb. He seemed a little better this morning, still refusing superworms but went nuts for crickets. Though Kendrick was eating a bit better today and his tummy did not look as shrunken, and he actually had a solid normal poop...

Update - Kenny just had a few small spots of diarrhea and clear as day, some blood. To answer your question about his diet he eats crickets, small superworms and phoenix worms. And yes, shortly before the sudden change in behavior I fed him a few wax worms. We had run out of phoenix worms...

Kenny is about 5 mos old, I think. We got him 12/23 and they said he was 8 weeks. He is 15 inches long and weighs 6.1 ounces. Last week we switched from 20 gallon tank, Reptisun 10.0 T8, plus a 100 watt bulb, 100to 110F, 85F cool side, probe thermometer, to a 75 gallon tank with a 100watt...

So I was feeding my beardie baby super worms, he is about 10 inches long (don't know exact age, I think 10 weeks). O found a gigantic 3 to 4 inch fat super worm in the container. I have never seen one that size. I set him aside for my worm farm and then my lil guy jumped off of me, got the...

I moved the dial higher, and we moved the viv from the floor to atop a dresser near the window that has filtered natural lights (windows are coated with sun filtering stuff to reduce heat). I am thinking the higher "altitude" is causing the increase and I removed the extra CHE bulb that I added...

I am pretty sure now it is too hot. He will only bask for a minute, then hops down, to the lower limbs or floor. Dial thermometer on wall says 110 F. So I am sure it is hotter eight under the light. Although the dial is above basking height. I will use the probe later, it takes 5 minutes for...

Our new baby is in his 20 gallon viv in my son's room because we have two cats. I don't believe the cats could get into the viv, but I do t want them to scare him. Should we continue to keep him in my son's room? I feel like he should be around us more and eventually get used to seeing the...

Ah! I kind of thought it sounded like a burp! I guess that makes sense, he was probably full!
