Lol that was my bad, he never questioned that it was male or female and I never asked I just went by what I was told before (that he was a he) I didn't realize the spurs were a strictly dude thing at the time
His calcium is .02 ml 2x a week and vit. A&D combo once every 2 weeks at .02 ml and yup plenty on the UVB and appropriate wattage for the tank he's in now. His new dripper is coming in tomorrow so hopefully that'll help with the dehydration and he's getting some new food coming in tomorrow too...
He's scratched himself a little bit but not much, he keeps grabbing at his side and face and getting stuck. Scratched the hell out of me but I don't mind too much
Should I trim his nails a bit? They are getting rather long and sharp which is great for climbing but he just keeping gripping onto his own face and side trying to maneuver his arms and I'm afraid he'll puncture himself. Good or bad idea?
That's what I was thinking. I may just have to wake up earlier to wake him. I had been trying that but he doesn't like being woken at 5 am lol. All I'd get out of him was a glare. I don't blame him but gotta do what I gotta do
Lol I mean he was digging around. I know these guys aren't really night time lovers but he wouldn't drink all day though he was sprayed and I just got a few sips into him with his meds. Have him soaking in some warm water to heat up a bit and maybe liven things for more water before bed. Gonna...
He has spurs. He's rather sleepy at the moment and not wanting to drink :( lil worried. he doesn't have much reaction but it is almost 10 at night here. Don't know if I should be worried
I really do appreciate all the help. I was doubting my abilities to give him the best chance but feel much better about it. He likely won't ever climb much again. I'll try low hanging branches when he's healed with a soft landing and in the mean time he likes simply being held high up
I'm trying :/ I wasn't exactly prepared for Mr. Gimpy and couldn't find anyone else he would tolerate or vice versa. I'm just sorry he got stuck with a crumby owner to begin with. Had to rehome a bearded dragon that was getting mbd too. I didn't have room for the both of them
That's actually really cool. Just got him confirmed as a lil dude though. My sister went by to check on him while I'm working and she said he definitely has the spurs
I am so glad I found this forum thank you all so much! I've been researching but was so paranoid of making things worse. He/she is at least better than when I got them but I want to give the best chance I can
He actually was the only reptile vet around...he was just more interested in the bones at the time I think. Is it the coloration or structure that makes you think female? O.O now that I think about it he/she was digging around. I thought it was just boredom
Huh, I'll have to try and sex him myself. I was told male but that could very well be wrong. He said trying to correct would likely make things worse. In both back it looks like multiple breaks
