    Good soft bodied worm for daily feed

    My Heihei has MBD and refuses to touch any bug or worm that has been dusted with calcium. I was adding calcium to a slurry (per vet's suggestion), but most of the time more got on the towel than in her mouth. I felt like I couldn't give her a consistent dose of calcium. Someone here suggested...

    Need help getting my baby to get calcium

    I did try dusting them, she won't touch them. She really is a finicky little bugger! With her having MBD, I worry that she still is not getting enough calcium if I don't supplement, even though she is eating BSFL. She is also inconsistent about how much she eats, some days she will eat over 60...

    Need help getting my baby to get calcium

    Heihei is about 6 months old and has MBD. She apparently had it when we got her and not knowing, we didn't do enough to correct it. The vet gave me calcium to inject daily for two weeks, which I did. She also said to add calcium to pedialyte or a slurry and feed that way because she wasn't...

    Finished treatment for worms and it possibly didn't work

    I took Heihei to a herp vet on May 1 because i was concerned about consistently mushy, watery poo. The vet did a fecal and said she was loaded with worms. Given her age and how long we have had her, she said that she likely came that way. So she gave me instructions and Panacur and syringes. I...

    Vet appointment and now more confused (MBD)

    We feed Heihei dubia, BSFL, and occasionally a few superworms (along with greens, squash, etc). Thanks for your response. I swear I have worried over Heihei as much as I worried over my human babies!

    Vet appointment and now more confused (MBD)

    I am so upset and confused. I took my Heihei to the vet primarily because she has had watery poop off and on the past couple of weeks (this was the first appointment I could get), but also because I wanted her to look at the kink in Heihei's tail. We got Heihei December 26 from a reptile...

    Heihei' tail..I'm concerned

    When I first got Heihei 3 months ago, she had a healed nipped tail with a small kink. As she is growing, the kink is getting more pronounced and the end of her tail seems to be getting darker. There is no open wound. She recently shed (second full shed since we got her) and her tail shed fine...

    Size of bugs for young dragons

    I have gone by the rule of thumb not to feed anything larger than the space between the dragon's eyes since getting my little Heihei. When applying this rule, especially with dubia, I have used the length (head to tail) of the roach. My friend who has 3 bearded dragons uses the same rule of...

    Keeping track

    I keep track on a wall calendar. I only have one, but the calendar is right by her enclosure, so it's easy to remember to write everything down.

    Concerned about tail and size: could this be MBD? We

    Thank you! I didn't think it was but I just worry! She is such a sweetheart and we are all in love!! I can't imagine her all grown up but I know it will happen quicker than I think!

    Concerned about tail and size: could this be MBD? We

    We have had Heihei since December 26. We are estimating her to be about 3-3.5 months old. She eats well and has definitely grown. We feed her Dubia roaches twice a day, dusted with calcium one of those feedings. She is in a 40 gallon breeder with a 10 HO T5 UVB light, a basking bulb and a CHE...

    Background adhesive

    My little Heihei was getting distressed by her reflection on the glass of the tank she is in so we got a background for the back and sides. I used regular double sided tape to adhere it, but the back, particularly by the basking bulb, kept falling. I then got a stronger adhesive tape (the kind...

    Heihei is apparently younger than we were told

    She is doing really well! We love watching her and playing with her. She has had her first shed with us. She loves dubia roaches and seemed to like Phoenix Worms the first time we gave them to her but she hasn't touched them since. She is picky about the size of the dubia. Even though she could...

    Heihei is apparently younger than we were told

    I finally measured Heihei last night. When we got her, the person at the shop (it's a herp specialty store, one of the owners is a herpetologist and the other is the business man) said he thought she was about 3 months old. I thought she was a bit small for 3 months and I have been concerned...

    Good source for BSFL

    Absolutely! That is what we do. She will actually take a piece of mustard greens from our fingers but she pretty much ignores us when we offer the dandelion greens. She has nibbled on them a bit in her bowl, but she obviously prefers mustard greens. We will get another kind of green to introduce...
