    Thanks. He is and he is so forceful with wanting food. Little booger just parks himself right infront of the door on his perch and sits there half cocked with the tail flailing all over lol. Little guy was shy for the first 2 days i got him, now he is pretty bold. A lot more bold than Pat except i did catch Pat windshield wiping the cage door this morning after taking a HUGE poop. Once i cleaned it, he went back to his same spot on his perch and went to sleep lol.

    Alex is a cute little guy. I am glad he's eating and thriving in your care. He had a rough outing to you.

    I am very happy things are going so well for you and you are not having problems like I am having with Yafe (even if Fedex wasn't the only problem).

    Keep us posted and keep up the good work.

    Thanks. I had my problems with Harley my beardie. She kind of quit using one of her back legs this sunday so i took her into my vet on tuesday. The vet did 3 xrays, a blood panel, and consultation with a reptile xray specialist as she couldnt see anything other than maybe light arthritis in Harleys leg. She isnt impacted, doesnt have eggs, her lungs look good and clear, no broken bones. Just a whole lot of fat on her lower area. This ran me $400. But the bottom line is pretty much Harley is WAY overweight. A normal beardie her size should weigh about 400 grams. She weighed in at 718 grams and that was completely empty. The vet kept telling me she was overweight on all her checkups but now the vet said 'NO MORE BEARDIE CANDY!!' in the form of butterworms which she LOVES. I cave for her when she jumps off her hammock and charges to me and stares up at me when i get the tub out lol. The vet said she can eat her dubias, silkworms and hornworms but i need to supplement her with more veggies and fruits which she never was a fan for even as a 6 week old baby when i got her.

    Hey, we all do our best. Vet bills suck, but so does having a sick animal, or an animal that we are concerned about and unsure what to do.

    My old Beardie, George, died (I had to put him down) at about 11 years old, of pancreatitis. He was in pain every time he ate towards the end. He was also not a big fan of his veggies, but I was stubborn and either made him eat them with his protein (literally stuck the leafy greens in his mouth while he was chewing an insect), or held out protein for a bit until he would eat his veggies. I knew which veggies he really liked (collard greens, carrots, squash, etc) and tried to give him more of those (mixed in with other things that were good for him). He also didn't like Dubai's (he was introduced to them late in life) and I didn't feed crickets (too dirty, too much noise, and not as high in protein as Dubai - a staple along with mealworms for my geckos). So he ate more super worms then he probably should have mixed in with phoenix worms and an occasional wax or butterworm. However, between supplementation (vitamins, calcium, and proper UV light), he lived to pretty old for a Beardie.

    Do your best with Harley, but definitely get some weight off. It will help.

    Alex being weird. How is he comfortable with his face squished. Then him poking out cause he thought food was coming. He is hungry 24/7.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ecfa65a06d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b491b3b18c.jpg
