Hi! My grand daughter got a new bearded dragon for Christmas that now lives at my house. She received bad info from the pet shop so I'm sure you know how this story goes. Spike got sick and wouldn't eat, he had jerks and diarrhea. I have been on this board for weeks just reading and researching without making a post. I had to let everyone know with all the excellent advice Spike has made a 100 percent turn around.
I fed him repti boost and baby food for weeks without seeing much improvement. I had to order his UVB light so I had to wait on that to come in the mail. The improvement really came when I put it inside his cage. He done a complete turn around and is now a lil piggie. It seems like he just can't get full, and his poop is normal. He is very active also which is a big
I'm using a fish tank light fixture for now. I have it sitting on clothes hangers stretched across the cage. I bought Velcro to try to hang it up without the clothes hangers but there is a push in switch on the back so it won't sit flush. I got to figure something else out.
I have his hide sitting on a box for now with his hammock over top of that to get him close enough to the heat lamp to get the correct temp. I have a log ordered, but I didn't realize pet mountain was so far away so it has been a week and still no log. He lives in a twenty gallon tank right now that's not very pretty at all, but at least he's healthy. I will be getting him a new tank soon.
I just wanted to thank everyone for all your help!
I will post pics when I figure out how to do it. I have been to busy in the ER section lately.
