shane14, if u can take a fresh poo sample from both with u, its better than the water up the bum sample for testing.

sorry to hear u lost a little one. ;(

Are they supposed to have a bit of baby fat?
Is this a normal looking 4 month old beardy?

My boy has the same belly.lol. I think it's cute I wonder if it has anything to do with exercise....or lack of in my case.lol

Fatso had me worried cause I hadn't seen him poop for a few days. I ran him a nice warm bath and..... presto! Haven't had trouble since. He now eats bok choy (finally found it) and loves minced pumpkin. He still get his crix and sometimes commercial pellets just for variety. I just found a frozen bdragon food in the pet shop and bought that just to try.

Bearded dragons.......fun, but can give u a headache at the same time.lol
