daner923":1wh5pw4q said:I think he's answered the proper questions, actually. The answer is almost certainly yes, it was the rat, not crickets. The bones, fur, and claws can cause serious blockages. There's no way that thing was smaller than the space between his eyes, was there? I'm kinda incredulous that you would come on here bashing us about the crickets, when you in fact fed a RAT to your dragon. Did you do that based on advice you got from someone on here? In some beardies, crickets can cause impactions, but typically due to low temps or incorrect UVB. Please keep in mind that just as every person is different, so are beardies different. I mean, I've eaten large pieces of steak and never choked, but that doesn't mean it won't happen to someone whose throat may be prone to clenching tightly. No one on this site was out to hurt you or your baby, but please understand that the knowledge on this site is not just one person's opinion, but is the aggregate of experience from thousands of owners over many years. When someone gets something wrong they are almost always corrected, and this site is pretty consistent with its message. Bottom line: the rat is almost definitely the problem.
