[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1893108, member: 89387"] Hi… Puff looks like he’s getting ready to do some shedding too, but not much is coming off yet so I haven’t got the mess to vacuum out of the tank so far. It’s on his back and shoulders where he’s shed before fairly recently and also where they injected him with the latest round of antibiotics a couple of months ago, so I figure it might be a reaction to that. His tail still looks like a shedding disaster area, but at least it’s alive and well. He’s definitely slowing down and maybe trying to brumate for the first time in his life in the middle of the summer (ok, technically it’s still spring, but everything's green and daylight around here so it’s just as good as already summer), but he still eats and usually basks for at least a few hours after a meal, so not completely comatose yet. His weight was 539 grams after his bath this last Saturday, up from 520 last week, but he hadn’t pooped in the water. Instead, he plopped a nice big healthy looking one on his freshly cleaned basking platform a few hours later (and stepped in it before we got to him :banghead: ) – probably just about 19 grams worth – so his weight is more or less stable. After we cleaned it up and put him back in his tank, he turned his very happy golden color. I’m not sure if that’s because he’d been snuggling under “daddy’s” shirt while I put the stuff in the tank back together, or because he’d gotten both of his human slaves to rush over and clean up after him right away. Either way, another typical Saturday afternoon at the Bailey’s. :roll: Bearded dragons do seem to be able to poop in just about every color of the rainbow. Last spring when Puff lost all that weight and got hungry enough to eat veggies, his turds were big and green. My husband thought the food was going right through him but the vet set it looked like it was getting digested – we just weren’t used to seeing that. Now that he’s back to his comfortable weight, he’s back to eating mostly bugs and very little greens, so his turds are usually brown, and sometimes a little orange if he eats some butternut squash. I think you’re doing a very good thing for your little froglets by making sure that their new human slaves will know how to properly take care of them. :) I’ve never had frogs but I get the lullaby from chirping crickets too. Reminds me of summer nights in California (but luckily it’s not that hot here), and also reassures me that we have food for Puff for tomorrow. My husband has lost some of his hearing in the frequency range where they chirp, and he can barely hear them, so they don’t keep him awake either. Ready for another rousing week catching up on Puffie laundry... :wink: [/QUOTE]
