baby beardie need help

[diamc]

He probably meant the Solar Glo which is a mercury vapor bulb which supplies UVA and UVB in one bulb. It's not a new bulb though, has been on the market for quite a while.

Do you have any of the beardies housed together?

 

[misty82]

is it some thing that would be good for me to invest in for my 40 breeders ? my hubby is set after talking to that guy about getting them he want one for every tank ever the snake >.<

 

[misty82]

no i dont

You're doing the right things. commercial baby food is mostly water so they can process more than you'd think. I would mix the calcium supplement with the food, and perhaps even mix in a little flaked baby multigrain cereal to thicken the mixture up and add calories and nutrition. I'd offer him food as often as you can conveniently manage. Sometimes, especially with babies, there is nothing that can be done to fix the situation. It's great that you're trying so hard and taking so much care. Good luck

Ok guys I really need help I went in to work and another beardie went don't hill he can not move his back legs not eatting same storey as the other one but can move his back legs I am so sick over it any help please

 

[cdajen]

If he cannot move is back legs, he likely has an impaction and is dehydrated. He is probably also suffering a calcium deficiency due to poor lighting.

 

[misty82]

ok got him in good lighting right now soaked him and feed baby food but some one said i could put the vitiams on the baby food how much just a lil sprinkle ?

 

[Esther19]

Yes, a sprinkle. Offer water by dripping some on his nose, too.

 

[misty82]

ok ty u guys for all ur help i love this site u guys are awesome

 

[misty82]

ok well the beardie that is not moving his back legs is still eating crickets i just seen him :} i am so happy about that ...... the other one is moving around a lil more but still feeding baby food ..... this morning i notice poop in the tank and it was a lil watery but look like it had a hole meal worm in it

 

[diamc]

If the one still isn't moving his back legs, it is possible that he is impacted. You should just give him baby food until he poops because that is easier to digest. Please don't feed either of them anymore mealworms, they have a hard chitin shell which can indeed cause impaction.

 

[misty82]

Ok no more meal worms ...... Have another ? I'm sorry I am full of them but I guess u don't learn unless u ask ..... The one beardie that I am baby food feeding his poop is running clean and white is that a good sign or to much of some thing ?

 

[diamc]

I'm not sure what this meant.

Have another ? I'm sorry I am full of them but I guess u don't learn unless u ask .

 

[misty82]

When he pooped it was runny with a little white in it

 

[diamc]

It would tend to be thinner when on the baby food. But, keep an eye on it. Does it smell real bad?
