Hi everyone, my 3 y/o male named Pip has been pooping much more frequently than he ever used to. He was just in a 2 month period of semi-brumation (eating little, pooping little, spending a few days of the week inside of his hide). I’m assuming that his increase in pooping can be chalked up to...

Hi everyone, a couple times a week my 1.5 year old named Pip has been going into his cave and sleeping the whole day. When he does this, he usually comes back out of the cave the same day and goes back to basking right before his lights turn out, then he just goes back to normal for a few days...

I’ve noticed that whenever I have to go out of town and I put someone else in charge of feeding my beardie, he won’t eat. He’s a 10 month old so he gets fed twice a day, but when I’m out of town and someone else has to go over and feed him, he will never eat for that person. As soon as I get...

I’m not sure if it’s because it’s been getting really hot and humid where I live, but I’ve been getting a lot of tiny flies (I think fruit flies?) in my cricket keeper. I’ve had them show up several times in the past and I solved the issue easily, but in the past few weeks there has been a lot...

Thanks for the info! I don’t have any wood in my tank, the main structure is this big platform I built using polystyrene/grout/nontoxic sealer, so I probably just have to stick with pulling it all out and really scrubbing it down. Even if I could bake it, it’s too big to fit in my oven lol. I...

So my guy Pip just had his first checkup and fecal, and he came back positive for coccidia and a couple other nasties. He’s getting treated right now with Ponazuril, and although we’re only on day 2, he doesn’t seem to be having any side effects! In the meantime, what’s the best way for me to...

Got it, thank you. And yes, I would consider the urate chalky. I typically have to use some force to break it in half with my fingers. It’s usually completely white too. I forgot to mention in my original post, there’s occasionally a thin white casing around his poop, I’m not sure if that has...

He’s getting about 20-30 bugs per feeding twice a day, and I only dust them in the morning. I can’t give you an exact measurement of how much calcium I’m using, I usually just put enough in there to coat them all in a slightly white-ish color. Not thick enough to look like a powdered donut or...

Hi all, just looking for some advice regarding my 7 month old. I’m super concerned about making sure he’s well hydrated. I give him a 10-15min soak every other day, practically drench his greens which he gobbles up right away, and I drip water onto his nose for him to lick up, although he...

Hi everyone, I’ve had my baby Beardie, Pip, for a month now and he’s 4 months old. He’s really active and sweet and he eats at least 30 medium sized crickets a day, but I’m concerned that he might be on the skinny side. I’m not 100% positive, but I think his hipbones are really sticking out...

Meeko left us today. She’s no longer in any pain <3

Update for you guys- we’ve taken a turn for the worse. I gave her 2 syringes full of water this morning that she drank willingly before I left for class, but she wasn’t moving any of her limbs and only got around by wiggling her body. When I came home just now, she’s back to doing the exact...

Hi, she actually isn’t on those anymore, the vet had me discontinue all antibiotics and pain meds as of the day she was diagnosed with her gout, currently im giving her .25ml of allopurinol and .1ml of Black cherry extract every day, and liquid calcium every other day. Since I want to make sure...

Thanks for the reply- vet closed at 6pm today so that’s out of the question for the rest of the day. But, she’s returned to normal colors and her eyes are open now, just very sunken. She’s still not moving much but she’s responsive to my touch now, so I think we’re pulling through. I’m assuming...
