Oh, the things we do for these little creatures! I've just had my absolute worst moment on the list of the strangest things we've done for our beardies...:
FISHING A FRESH FECAL SAMPLE FROM THE BATH, with a spoon :roll:
Just as well I did, turns out we've got a bad coccidia infection going... The rest of my day was topped up with bleaching and cleaning both vivs and administering medicines.
When I brought Sarth to the vet they "flushed" a fresh fecal out of him. Not sure what that entailed but I prefer that to fishing it out of the bath as well, lol
Our vet tried that the first time we took Angie to see him. It didn't work , but wasn't pretty to watch either... Of course, that leaves the dirty work to someone else :wink:
lol Collecting fecals is no fun. Ever since we found out Princess has pinworms 3 weeks ago we have been steam cleaning the vivs every day but every time she poops we immediately have to change the paper towels. Yes it is a pain but we love our babies so we do it lol.
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
