Thank you :(

Thank you, I appreciate it. Will take a while for things to feel easier.

Just to let you all know I had Fern put to sleep today. The xrays showed very brittle bones in her legs & 2 fractures. The vet said they could splint one but not the other & they probably wouldn't heal properly. She also said it would take months to try & get the bones stronger & she was...

Rang the vet again Monday & I'm taking her back in tomorrow for xrays. She's still no better. Still giving her antibiotics & calcium & feeding her a couple of dusted crickets a day when I can get them in her mouth & she'll take them.

So sorry to hear that :(

I'm startting to suspect metabolic bone disease. Her back legs seem to always be laying out flat in front of her (feet towards her front end) & one back leg looks bigger than the other & the knee seems to bend inwards rather than outwards. She seems very hunched towards her back end too. Her...

Well she seems a bit worse with her legs, one back leg looks swollen compared to the other. Her green colour has now changed to brown. I'm so upset seeing her like this & her not being able to climb. I'm meant to give the antibiotics till Tuesday but may ring the vet again Monday when they're...

She did used to drink from the water dish sometimes but she isn't at the moment. She's not really doing anything other than sitting on the floor & occassionally trying to climb a branch. It's as if her back half just won't lift off the ground. She sits with her back legs out flat either side of...

Thanks CassieCumberland. Thanks Trace. The Moreton Hall one is about half an hour from me so not bad! Thank you for finding me some options. :) However, I found a vets in Attleborough (about half an hour from me) that deals with the local reprile & aquatic centre where I got my chameleon &...

There aren't any specific reptile vets around here at all that I know of but there is a vets about half an hour away that deals with a local reptile & aquatic shop & also a couple of local zoos so I think they're my best bet. Thank you for the info on what I need to be asking for/ seeing them...

Thanks again for the replies. I have been wonering about the lack of digging. I've only seen her dig once which was about 3 weeks ago on the bottom of the viv. I've not noticed any digging in the bucket. Everyone keeps mentioning digging test tunnels etc but she doesn't seem to. Although...

No change - now on the 3rd day & 3rd week of no eating etc Still no change. She's still sitting in the hole but I never hear her moving about or digging & can see no signs of digging. She does have some soil on her head though so I don't know if she has been doing anything. She's a greeny blue...

Nothing as far as I'm aware. I left her alone all yesterday. I had a peep in this morning & she was still sat in the bucket. I had another peep when I got home from work tonight & she's still sat in the bucket. She's now facing a different direction but that's about it. I haven't misted or...

I don't know of any but I'm sure there are members on this forum who also own, or have owned bearded dragons. I had a male bearded dragon for around 6 years. Wonderful lizards & very friendly. :)

Thanks, yeah I turned her heat & uv off last night & back on again when I got up this morning. I'll do the same tonight & tomorrow morning. Then I'm at work all day tomorrow. Haven't been near viv today to feed, mist etc. I just worry how long this can go on with no eating, drinking & no...

They are beautiful. Love frogs, great to keep. :)

Thanks. It's been 2 weeks now & she hasn't done anything. Although the new bucket has only been in there since last evening. She doesn't dig. If I have dug a hole in the soil she will sit in that hole but doesn't dig anything herself. Then after a while she just gets out & sits on the floor...

Thank you. I haven't disturbed her today but she's still just sitting in the hole as she was last night. If she doesn't do anything this time I don't know what I'll do. Another vet could be pricey & hard to find & could just tell me there's nothing wrong with her again. Now 2 weeks without...

You could try holding them a little distance from him & wiggling them with you fingers. Then he will notice them but at the same time you're not too close. I also found hand feeding waxworms is a good way to start them feeding from your hand as they love those. You can put them in the palm of...
