I agree. I’ve rescued beardies for 7 yrs. NO substrate that is ingestible (anything other than Repti-carpet or paper towels) has any business being in a Beardie enclosure! I’ve never fed pumpkin to a Beardie, tho I’m sure it isn’t harMful. Some Beardies do struggle with constipation in captivity...
You want a T10 UVB light for a Beardie. T5 isn’t sufficient. Also suggest looking for dandelion leaves for his salad. They have the best Ca to Phos ratio. I agree with other suggestions Re: changing his diet. If he isn’t losing weight, most likely he is entering brumation. Though it is more...
Sounds like you have the right supplies to rehab this baby. The damage already done to this bones isn’t fixable but you can correct the problem so he can thrive. I reached one with much worse deformities than yours. The vet said “put her down.” My response? “Not til I try.” It was touch & go for...
Oh my gosh! I so sorry you & your poor beardie have to go through this. I can’t imagine how stressful this is for you. You have done everything humanly possible to try and help. Please don’t beat yourself up. My prayers for you and your baby.
We were all correct. Ziggy is indeed a female & in the absence of a proper lay box took it upon herself to solve the problem & layer em from her hammock onto the reptile carpet below. Only 16 eggs tho - I made a lay box in case she has more she still needs to lay. So nothing wrong with her at...
Thank you kindly for your response. I will check “him” again & be more thorough re: sexing him. Also see if I can palpate eggs. Just to be safe I will make him a lay box and put it in his enclosure!
I agree wIth an earlier post re: Vit D. It is fat soluble (along with A, K & E) & can build up in the system and cause toxicity. Shouldn’t be giving it more than once a week & mixed in a VERY small amount in with plain Calcium carbonate or gluconate. The poop itself is indeed huge. I would say...
I would say over feeding. If the emesis was bigger than the dragon, that’s a good clue! Dragons less than a year old are stupid when it comes to food. They have a biological drive to eat as much food as they can find in order to grow to adult size ASAP. This makes them less vulnerable to...
Hi all. I’m an experienced beardie (& other reptiles) owner who runs an informal rescue out of my home. There isn’t a reptile rescue in this area so a group of us take in animals that need rescue. We share equipment, knowledge, house space & anything else needed when we find an animal in need...
Just skimmed over the posts on this & agree with the advice given. Did NOT see a mention of calcium supplementation. All your feeder bugs should be dusted with powdered calcium designed for reptiles. You can powder his salads or buy liquid calcium spray for those. MBD is caused by a lack of UVB...
Make sure his basking temps are between 95-105 degrees. I recommend buying a heat gun (Amazon) to check temps. The little thermometers they sell to put in tanks are all but useless! Next, make sure that he is getting adequate UVB. Bulb should be a 10.0, less than 6 months since it was changed &...
