Hi, this is my first post so please be kind - apologies if I've missed a similar thread elsewhere. I got a Beardie about 6 weeks ago. We think its a she. She was the runt of a large group given to an animal care college. She was getting picked on and when I first saw her she had a huge cut on the top of her head where one of the others had got her. She is 7months old and 13" long. She appears to be active (although I am at work during the day) appetite is healthy - about 25-40 medium crickets a day and spring greens or butternut squash, she will come out of her viv for a wander around most nights. The last couple of days however I have noticed that her waste has been runny and contain undigested greens. I have checked her temps and I think her basking spot may be a bit low - its around 36 decrees c. Cool end is around 26 degrees. I'm using a 100w MVP bulb as the heat source and uv and can't raise her spot anymore or she'll be too close to the bulb. Everything has been fine up till now, I think that wit the colder weather, our flat has cooled and it's having trouble getting up to temp. It was abou 40 degrees during the warmer weather. I understand it could also be parasites so another question - anybody got experience with a North London herp vet? I'm in Enfield.
Thanks for any help!
