Hey Cooper, thanks for the response.I have an update! I was also curious about brumation, but it's so early in the year. He started sleeping more again, and I went back to the vet for the third time for blood work (so expensive!). Turns out he actually has a viral infection and was also...

No problem at all!! I appreciate all the help. :-) I didn't take it as a jab! I have just seen so many people get roasted in certain Beardie groups for doing something wrong. And don't worry, Merlin is a diva so I won't tell her about this discussion... I will log her weight and update as we...

Hey thanks soooo much! I was a little self-conscious to post her pic LOL! She is definitely chubby. Ok, she's overweight! I was going through pictures recently and I narrowed *when* her massive gain happened;like I said, when I adopted little underweight guy while I was beefing him up. I did...

Thanks so much, this is so useful. Since I cut her feeders, she goes on a HUNGER STRIKE until it's time for feeders. I think I am going to hold her feeders for a week (maybe 2)and see if she starts eatings more veg. I might cut her berries too. I was concerned with "starving" her of bugs, but...

Hey Brandon! Thanks for your reply. We are just now starting her weight loss process - I unfortunately don't have her weight at this very moment (my scale broke last night!) But we got doctors orders to lose weight this past week. She actually does not explore - she likes to sit, and then...

Hi all! My older girl, Merlin, is around 9. She's very, very lazy and was a bit overweight for her last vet check up. I am cutting her feeders back quite a bit, but she is still super picky about veggies. I have seen slurry recipes around, but should I just blend a bunch of veggies into a liquid...

Hey beardie friends, thanks for taking the time to read through this. Scooter is about a year and a half. I rescued him off Craigslist back in February, and he has sprouted like a bean - grew a bunch. For the past several weeks, his poops have been RANK. Like, smelling up the whole house almost...

Yes, I am using the laser pointer 2" away from the surface. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the styrofoam suggestion, his cage is in an open area and it does get drafty so some insulation might be clutch, thank you!

Hey Karrie, thanks for your response. Yes, I am using a laser pointer thing! Quick update: I was taking my 7 year old girls' temp incorrectly and she is perfectly fine, haha. I am still in the process of getting my juvy settled, and his basking spot reads about 75-80 (with the gun pointer...

Hey guys, I have a 7 year old lady and she can't move around too much, has a bum back leg. Anyhow, I have a 100 watt basking bulb above her basking spot, but the temps are still about 10 degrees too cool. I have seen pics where there are more than one basking light bulb - could I add a second...

Hi all! I have an older beardie around 6, and recently I got another baby to add to my family. She's doing great and settling in wonderfully, however I have a question about handling. I would like her to hang out with me, and I put her on my shoulder often. She always tries to find a way off, to...

Hey everyone, my girl has been super lethargic and sleepy. She has been going to bed earlier and earlier. I posted in another group and they immediately directed to some brumating articles. My girl is going to sleep after only 5-6 hours awake. Once she starts to burrow, I turn her lights off. My...

Hey everyone, been having some trouble with my girl Merlin. She is an older beardie. I went out of town a few weeks ago for 2 days and I came back and she had a little sore on her paw. Took her to the vet but it is still persisting. We have been giving her antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and...
