    Beardie has shaky back legs?

    Hello!! This is my first post here, I apologize if I’ve done anything wrong. My adult male bearded dragon, Link, has been acting a lil odd? I want to make sure he’s healthy. The femoral pores on the back of his legs are clogged, I'm aware of how to fix this and have been giving him extra soaks...

    Sickness or brumation?

    Hi, I adopted a 5 year old beardie last week and I am very new into having a bearded dragon but it is bothering me that he doesn’t move much, doesn’t want to eat, doesn’t want to drink water or anything. He is sleeping most of the time, when we come in the room he opens his eyes and looks at us...

    Hiding, not really eating, digging, high humidity issues

    My girl Ramses has been hiding a lot lately. Mostly on the hot side and now has started digging. She’s only eating every other day. She has also been leaving her mouth cracked open, she does close it occasionally. She won’t eat today. I have offered her greens and worms. This has been a pattern...

    Jeff is 8 months old and is showing signs of brumation. He saw the vet in early November where he was diagnosed with parasites and given antibiotics. A recent stool test showed this is now clear. They have done a blood test and we are awaiting the results. Jeff is not interested in food...

    Beardie Hiding All Day! Vet Says Too Much Calcium? Please Help!

    Hello, I took my Beardie in for a visit to the vet, as she's been spending more and more time in her hide, eating less and pooping less often, and it's really worrying me. She looks normal otherwise and does have better days here and there. The vet told me as follows (please forgive me if this...

    Brumating, Gravid, Sick, Stressed?

    Hi! So my smol lady is brumating (I think?). Since early October she's been refusing food, chilling in her hide or on a warm rock under her hammock, and not pooping nearly as much. However, all of this is only *sometimes*. I'm nervous about it because this would be her first winter brumating...

    Sudden Aggression During Fall

    So, this may just be because of brumation, but I thought better safe than sorry. Paul has been doing great, about a month ago a noticed they made a pretty deep burrow under a piece of wood in there enclosure; she was very fond of it, some times she wouldn't even come out to eat and stay in...

    Brumating in summer?

    This has probably been asked many times but I'm finding conflicting information. Some people say it's normal, some say to contact a vet immediately. So basically my beardie has been slowing down since late May (basking less, refusing to eat greens), and now has been staying in his hide for a...

    Sick Bearded Dragon? Please Help

    My 4 year old bearded dragon is acting mildly lethargic with a very black beard. The rest of him is very pale. We are very concerned and wanted advice from people familiar with beardies.

    Soft tissue inflammation

    Has anyone dealt with a bearded dragon that had soft tissue inflammation? Onix my beardie has been sleepy/lazy, hiding, and digging for the past 3 weeks. I assumed brumation since that's what he did last time he went into brumation. I went to get a pre-brumation vet checkup and found out he has...
