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...

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...

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...

My girl Meeko was diagnosed with gout almost a month ago and I’ve had her on allopurinol for a couple weeks now- she was getting stronger and stronger every day until I came home from work about 20 minutes ago, and found her laying in the corner under her basking light completely pale, but eyes...

My meeko was diagnosed with MBD about a month ago, she was on oral calcium injections, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories for 2 weeks, and after the round of meds ended she was doing pretty well. Swelling had gone down slightly in her arms although not completely, and I was feeding her squash...

My beardie Meeko was recently diagnosed with early stage MBD, and she has since stopped climbing up to her basking spot due to the pain in her swollen legs. I originally had her reptisun 10 t8 24" tube about 12 inches from the bottom of her tank and 6 inches from her basking log, but since she...

Hi everyone, I came on here the other day about my girl Meeko who had swelling in her front arms.. Took her to the vet for X-rays and found that the bones in her front toes and back ankles are losing a little of their density, but nothing extremely bad.. Vet said it’s early stages of MBD as the...

Hi, this is my first time posting so bear with me.. I got my girl Meeko about 6 months ago and she was around 1 year old when I got her. I took her in for a checkup and tested her stool for parasites at an exotic animal hospital 3 months after I got her and the vet told me everything looked good...
