Hello! My bearded dragon is having running bowel movements, and I'd like to get him a fecal test. I have no vets around me and was hoping to find an alternative.
Where to get a mail in fecal test?

No reliable ones that I know of that I've heard of anyone using.
No matter where you are, you likely have some type of vet near you. Any vet will have the capability of performing a fecal test, even a normal cat/dog type of vet. They might not have the expertise to treat the infection, but you could call around and ask if any would be willing to take in a fecal sample and give you a count. From there, we can help you with what needs to be done treatment wise.
Or, if this is going to be an ongoing issue for you, you might look into investing in your own equipment to do your own fecal exams.

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.
So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?

Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
