So its been ages since Mushu's treatment for MBD, and he's been doing great! He's been growing very well also, which is partly why I'm making this thread. His MBD had somewhat stunted his growth, but now that he's been treated, he has grown a lot. He's about 14 1/2 inches long, (I can't fully...

This thread was suggested by another user, for anyone looking for information regarding detecting, treating, and overall setup changes for bearded dragons with MBD. My young beardie had a slow appearance of symptoms, it didn't just happen overnight. First I noticed him sleeping A LOT, so much...

This is just an update on Mushu, who was diagnosed with MBD about a month and a half ago. He has made an AWESOME recovery, his appetite is back, he's eating his bugs and his veggies without a problem, and he's back to being active in his tank (and not sleeping all day). He's already grown...

So I’m sure you all remember my recent thread about Mushu, I posted a new reply in that thread but no one is responding (probably because it is older), so I’m making a new one. This morning I was trying to give Mushu a drink of water on his nose, but when I dripped it on him, he started flailing...

How can I get my beardie to eat veggies? He's so used to eating bugs, that I'm worried how won't bother with any vegetables... He's 7 months old though, so he should definitely be eating veggies...

So my bearded dragon, Mushu, has recently been what I presumed to be brumating. I had posted a thread asking about that, but this is a little bit different. Now he really won't eat (he hasn't lost weight yet), but two things that are really strange and concerning me. He wobbles when he walks...

So my bearded dragon, Mushu, is about 7 months old, and for the past two weeks or so, he has been sleeping CONSTANTLY. Whenever I check on him, he is sleeping. Sometimes he basks, but for the most part he just sleeps. In the past two days, whenever I fed him, he ate only a little bit, then...

So I haven’t been on the forum for a while, I’ve been really busy, but recently I’ve been noticing something strange with my beardie, Mushu. The first thing I noticed was that he was sleeping a LOT. He still basks, but I find him sleeping almost all the time now. He is not an adult, so I...

I have a young beardie, best age guess would be close to 3 months old, in the past week and half ago, he started eating strange. He would eat normal, but then he wouldn’t. Sometimes he ate only a few worms, then he would eat normal next meal. That was the first few days, t wasn’t that...

So recently I posted a thread asking health questions (with a picture of my Mushu’s underside) and something that someone replied was to use betadine to wash the spot on his tail. I was wondering if hydrogen peroxide is safe to use instead? Betadine is expensive where we live, and the other...

I don't know if this is the start of prolapse, but Mushu has been eating a little strange lately, not anything too worrisome, just strangely, and today I checked his underside, and I saw this. Is this the start of prolapse? Should I take him to the vet?? I know that prolapse is fatal...

How early in age do beardies brumate? Can a young juvenile brumate? I wasn't sure where to post this.... :?

How often should I try to feed my baby beardie vegetables and fruit?

I finally got my baby beardie, Mushu!! He loves posing for the camera... There is one thing I wanted to have all of your opinions on. He won't really eat. Now I already know that my temp in the basking spot is wrong, only at 90ish degrees. I already have ordered a new lamp/bulb and they...

I have a lamp dome that came from one of those "all-in-one" kits from Petco (don't worry, I don't use anything else from the kit). I have a Grreat Choice® Daytime Incandescent Health Bulb. For some reason, it is not heating the basking spot to the correct temperature! I have a brand new baby...

Can I use a T8 fluorescent rod in a T5 rod fixture? Or is that a big no-no?

Can anyone tell me what they have for their fluorescent rod fixture and where I can get it?? I have a 36” T8 Reptisun fluorescent rod, and I can’t seem to find a fixture for it. I plan on mounting the fixture on the inside of the screen cover, so no hoods. But all I can find are either hoods...

So I’m setting up a bio active terrarium, and I will have (safe) plants in the tank for my beardie. I have a reptisun 10.0 36” fluorescent rod for him. Will that rod work for the plants? Or do I need a separate light for the plants? The plants I’m using are desert plants, so I would assume...

So I’m getting a bearded dragon soon, and I wanted to know how many of you guys bought one from a name-brand (Petco, Petsmart) and how friendly it was? I want a very sociable and playful beardie, so I wanted to know if I buy from one of those pet stores, will it be friendly or very shy?

So I was reading about substrates and only now (after ages of researching) found someone mention a "bioactive" environment. I personally LOVE the sound of it, it would help my schedule greatly, and I think would look awesome too. I'd like to know how to set-up a bioactive tank? I get a lot of...
