Today Loki had a wellness check..very first one and we found out a surprising fact. Loki is not a he
but in fact a she. They weighed her and she came out to 352 grams, they did a fecal and it came
back negative (yay)...even the vet was surprised because he said most beardies he usually finds even
a low amount of worms and has to treat. He did clip Loki's nails and showed me how to do them as
they were just grown enough to where we were able to cut them. He told me it would be better to
switch to pelleted repcal food..however I've tried Loki on that and she absolutely refuses to eat it and
this is where I kind of disagreed with him. He told me to only give her that and nothing else until she
eats it..that she won't starve because her metabolism will change, but I can't help but think to myself
that I would be starving her when I could give her food. I did however really like this vet, he was very
educated, he even had a gorgeous beardie in his office which is his own. He said Loki was perfect
condition though and it was such a relief.
Only downfall though was I got my shipment of crickets yesterday and 3/4 of my shipment was dead
So now I have to go buy crickets from petsmart until my new shipment gets here. I even paid for the
winter packaging and waited a few hours hoping they were just cold, but unfortunately they were dead.
