BTW Vicky, we have the Reptaid, not the Repta- aid. I know the names can get confusing. We've given her the Reptaid ever soo often but she hasn't shown any illness from it.
Oh I see, OK.I do suggest you get her Repta-aid.Reptaid is not going to do the same thing for her in regards to settling her tummy and I would be very careful with the reptaid because a lot of folks have made it clear that it has been dehydrating their animals so if you do decide to use it then be sure to up the baths.

I don't recommend you letting her eat anymore weeds until you know exactly what they are because some do at times have toxic quality.It could be what is bothering her. Also remember pesticides can travel so I would be very careful although it does sound like there is quite a distance between I still wouldn't take the chance but then again I am nervous about everything...lol

Bill said she did eat weeds yesterday but only the ones she's eaten before that never caused any problems.

Also, she's perking up. She's not back to normal but, after a nap we woke up and checked on her and when I was holding her in my hand and looking at her she did her normal "Rosie" thing, she looked at my shoulder, which is her way of saying 'put me on your shoulder, slave, you know what I want'.

Hello Lori,

Sorry that little Rosie has been ill! I hope that she is feeling better soon.
I don't know exactly what happened, it could have been the feeders or something outside, it is hard to know. Have the supers ever bothered her tummy before?

Thanks for asking, Tracie, no, they haven't bothered her before. I could understand if it was locally purchased supers as when we bought them from the local pet store before, you would have to check them before you bought them as a lot of the time half of them were dead. We purchased them from Mulberry Farms. We like to purchase from them as if we don't need 1,000 we can get a smaller amount, also shipping is cheaper from them. There is another place we used to purchase from but all we could get that we use is crickets and 1,000 superworms. Speedy did eat the supers the same day and didn't get sick. Unless it was just a random one super that was bad but I didn't see any super worms that were bad. I have no idea where this came from. Goldie is fine. The only time she was sick was several months ago when she was overly hungry and ate 9 supers whole. That upset her stomach and she threw all of them up the next am. She did drink water that time, tho Goldie never drinks water, she has to be really, really dehydrated before she drinks water.

Rosie is feeling better, in fact we just got back from town and her black beard and black tail is gone. She isn't 100% but I know that will take a day or two. Thankfully Bill is home with them all day. Just after I posted the first post this am, I took the large water dish we had left over from Miss O and Miss Y, which is large enough for their body. If I had one of Barbara's extra large babies, it, maybe would fit one half of the body portion. That did help her. I put her to bask for awhile with her heat and mega ray on, then awhile later we took them out side in the sun for an hour and that also helped.

Thanks, Gina. I sure hope you are right, and it does look like it. I just tend to worry more than most beardie owners and I've not had a good track record keeping beardies alive. Her eyes are still a little sunk in but they have filled out some.

Thanks, Barb. She seemed to be yesterday evening after we got back from town. We left them both home as I figured Rosie should stay home and rest and, if Goldie went with us she might feel left out. We take both with us when we go anywhere. I don't know about today as she's still sleepy. I checked on her about an hour ago and she had her eyes opened but had a sleepy look in them so I decided to let her sleep for awhile. I will post this evening when/if I have time.

We are using the 60 watt eb mega ray setup. It's been in for almost 2 months now. I got home about 15 or 20 minutes ago. Goldie is now on my back trying to cling to my hair, not that I have much for her to cling to. Rosie is more alert this evening than she was yesterday and I saw an improvement in her alertness yesterday evening. I have Bill making sure that our girls don't close their eyes too much when under their mega ray. Goldie was fine but only Rosie was affected by whatever happened.

For those that are still following Rosie's illness: She's improved over today and has gone back to headbobbing. I think that's when she' feeling testy and ends up (going after Goldie, that's rare, tho). We think that what happened is Bill, while weeding the yard, got some of the weeds on his hand mixed up with a little of her food. Usually he uses one hand for picking up the weeds and the other for giving them their food. We have decided to feed them before he weeds the yard.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
