I'm just wondering in general, really. We haven't had any issues. Batman is 11 weeks old and we have had him for 9 of those weeks. Is it advised to have a fecal done at some point just to be positive of his health even without any cause for concern? If so, should it be at a certain age?
I would wait until your beardie has settles before getting a fecal done. When they are still going through relocation stress, the worm count can be higher than normal.
I was sort of feeling like it was time. Goodness, I HOPE he's done with relocation stress! He's been here almost 10 weeks!! Honestly, he seemed to settle immediately anyway
I almost forgot that I meant to ask another question haha! To have a decal done just for a check up...do I have to find a special vet and is it going to cost a whole lot of $$$???
Depends on the vet. Call around. Otherwise you can send a sample to the ladies at beardeddragon.co. There's instructions on their site. I think it's $5 a sample.
I've seen that Cheryl? does fecals and it's very cheap. I just figured maybe it was for emergencies only or if I felt my dragon was sick. I will call around tomorrow morning
I'm going to share this here, as I have shared it in "Health" as well. I'm looking for opinions. My guy has shed everything but 3 legs and his head. It's been about 2 weeks from the initial start and his leg has looked like this for 7 days. I was told it could be normal for the swelling to come with shedding but to watch his toe. Any ideas? Is it a tough shed or do you think he may have hurt himself?
HIS right arm compared to HIS left arm (left has already shed but his right has me worried)
Give him a bath and use a soft toothbrush to help it loosen up. Also, rub 100% coco butter on it a few times throughout the day as many days as it takes. That'll help.
