Thank you. I have been feeding shredded carrot, should I stop that too? Yes, I’ve noticed bell peppers lead to the runs. She loves them but I do limit to once every few weeks. When you say squash do you mean summer or winter? Summer squash has a lot of water and low fiber but winter tends...
Hi Sadie,
Basking temps are around 105. She had high counts of parasites and worms a few weeks ago and was on one round of Panacur and Metranidizole which I think made her sicker but the vet denied that and said it she is probably still sick but all tests have come back normal. I took a fecal...
Stella went to the vet today. They can’t find an infection but think she has one based on not digesting food well. X-rays and blood work are normal. They couldn’t find parasites but said the stool was too old(it was 2 days old but kept cold). Has anyone had their beardie on injectable...
My vet is treating for pinworms too so is there such a thing as overgrowth maybe? Like in humans there are bacteria that are normal in small amounts but considered pathogenic in large amounts. In my case I was told mine has high counts of pinworm plus 2 types of parasites.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I only take her out before feeding insects or several hours after salad. She is generally good about hopping right onto her basking spot right after eating. Is suspect her eating the larvae fast and being on antibiotics may be the culprit.
Thanks. She just tend to just swallow them. They may be too small for her to bother chewing? The ones I have are maybe 1/2 inch. Do you feed BSFL regularly? How do you do it and how many do you feed? I have a ton of them and my gecko doesn’t like them and my chameleon only need a few so...
I made a new hide with a shorter box and a wider opening. She slept on top of it a couple days ago and tonight she’s inside!! I’d take a pic but I didn’t want to disturb her. Maybe I can snag one right before she wakes up.
Another update: Stella has parasites and worms and is being treated for both. I am finding that she digests crickets the best in regards to insects. BSFL came out whole so I’m going to stop feeding those even through she loves them. I will be trying silkworms next. All in all her digestion...
My beardie is being treated for parasites. I’m so annoyed it took a month to get her in after we brought her home from another family. Anyhow she wants night temps no lower than 70. I’m thinking of getting a 60 watt and putting it on a thermostat. I have a spare 5.5 inch deep dome but...
