So Lena is at the Exotic Vet right now. They just called and said that she looks great and that they are not concerned.
I guess it is just her transitioning from a growing baby into a young adult. They did a poop sample so they need to get those results back, but they think she is a sweet...
So the exotic Vet is finally going to take a look at her next Tuesday. I have replaced her 24 inch T5 HO 10 with the 34 inch. I thought it came with a T5 HO 10, 39 watt bulb, but it came with a T5 HO 5. I adjusted the height to about 8 inches above her basking spot and went with it on...
It is interesting that she is more than happy to eat canned silk worms. You'd think that if she was uncomfortable she would not eat anything. This morning she basked until about 2PM. 2PM back to the hide for sleepy time. She doesn't seem to be getting thinner. She just seems to want to...
I think the bulb is about 5 months old. I just ordered a new 36 inch T5. She is always wanting to sleep these days. She does bask for about 2 hours a day at best. She is eating small amounts of greens and a couple or roaches a day. She doesn't appear to be losing weight. I am going to...
So I have got the enclosure off the floor. She ate a bit of greens and a few silk work pupae this morning. She will not accept food unless i leave it in a bowl. She is basking. Seems happy. Could it be that she just switched gears from fast growth to slow growth and just needs less calories?
Thanks for all the tips, my wife and I are can't believe how great this forum has been. Thank you everyone!
She has spend the day on top of the platform at 13 inches from the center of the UVB light basking. She could climb up a bit and get to 105, but she is sitting in 95 degree light.
I added a brick next to the platform. Now I am wondering if the surface was too smooth for her to climb up. She has spend the whole morning on the platform. Seems happy for the first time in a bit. Hopefully she is hungry later.
I have only seen a black beard on her once. After a bath, cool...
She is thin. When she walks there isn't anything dragging aside from her tail. She is on her tile here, which is 18 inches. When we got her she was about 4 inches.
I also have a large pure bred Maine Coon cat. He likes to hang out in front of the cage. In the beginning Lena the Bearded Dragon would go over to him and they would look at each other for hours. Any chance that the cat is stressing her out?
We got her on September 12, 2021 and she was so small they were delaying selling her. Her voracious appetite was what convinced them to sell her. So she is probably 5 1/2 months. She is 21 inches long and is 1lbs 6 ounces. For feeders we have gone from crickets, to silk worms, to dubais...
Thanks for the reply, i was talking about relocation stress last night with my wife. The beardie went from eating to not eating before the new enclosure. So, it still could be stressed, but we noted the loss of appetite before the move. We live in Maine and our house has drafts, but we keep...
Sure - thanks for the help.
Our beardie had a ravenous appetite and had been growing but then significantly reduced her food intake, not eating much. She appeared restless and was growing out of her enclosure, so we upgraded her from her original enclosure to a Zen Habitat which is larger -...
