[hunter12]

my beardie is doing very,very bad! i gave her an earthworm from my garden and ever since she has her eyes closed is breathing really hard her body temp. has gone really low and it looks like she's dead (not yet) i wanted to take her to a vet but the next time reptile vet will be in is in 48 hrs. i don't think she's gonna make it! i raised the temp. 2! HELP PLS!!!!

It's your garden.....Do you spray pesticides on your plants or any chemical fertilizer on them? If so that is in the dirt...and now in the worms..you should never feed any bugs from your garden to your beardie.
You should really try and get him to a vet ASAP ,even if you have to take quite a ride... :|

 

[hunter12]

I have a question for you? Why or what made you give him earthworms from your garden? Not trying to bash here just curious...did you not know that they were no good for them? There are a few posts on here and other sites that mention earthworms from your garden not being a good idea. :|

I'm sorry you lost him.

I am very sorry for your loss.It is a terrible way to have to learn a lesson.For future referance I wouldnt recommend feeding earthworms of any kind captive or not to beardies.They are no good for them.Also along with wild insect I would be very careful that if you allow your beardie to graze the outside vegitation that you be VERY sure there are no pesticides of any kind in the area.They safest bet is not to allow them to do it at all but if you grow an organic garden and protect it you could try that.Also remember that fireflies and stinkbugs can kill or make your beardie very ill.Again I am very sorry for your loss.
