    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a big problem with one of my beardies that i got a few weeks ago she will only eat a few wax worms a week and the only reason im giving her wax worms is she is now real skinny the first week i had her she would eat at all thought that it was just from new habitat the second week she started losing weight wouldnt eat cricket or dubia she would grab a 1-3 superworms everyother day so figured she was starting to relax about two days ago weighed her and she has lost more weight called the vet and cant get her in till next friday so i went and got some waxworms she ate bout 6 when i gave them to her that night but that was the only time she would eat them she is refusing everything that i give her including green and fruits she has been in quarintine since i got her and the other two beardie that i got with her are feeding like pigs and doin great but shes not doin so good im to the point that im thinking of syringe feeding her i dont want to lose her cuz she is such a sweet girl with awesome colors just need help i dont know what else to do to help her i give her a bath everyother day and she drinks and has water in her setup along with heat range from 83-115 and brand new uvb thats an exo terra 10.0 18 inch tube if you have any suggestions on what to do till i can get her to the vet it would be great cuz really dont know what else to do for her at this time
 
I would not wait any longer to start feeding her with a syringe. I'd also offer her some water and some liquid calcium with an eye dropper. I hope she pulls through for you!!
 
Well I cant find my scales i dont know were i put them probably right in front of me but shes 17 inches and didnt even think bout given the calcium and vitamins in eyedropper she took the multivitamin no problem but she kinda fought with the calcium but she still took it now i just got to get some more wax worms for syringe feeding she really dont like that but unless she starts eatin shes going to have to i will get a weight on her as soon as i see my scales again
 
Hay she seems to be perking up alittle after the liquid vitamins and calcium she has climbed under her heatlamp and i had a heatpad under that side from last night she seems to like her temps hotter than i had them cuz in the spot shes wondering around in it ranging from125-130 she is showing interest in the worms now she opens her mouth when i show her one on the tongs she has ate bout 6 so far so im going to keep giving her the Vitamins and calcium shes still not out of the woods though but im hoping shes turning round also hopin its not just a fluke that shes eatin a few worms then going to quit eatin again i wouldnt think the vitamins would work this quick so im thinkin she needs warmer temps then i had on her still got to get her to the vet thanks for the advise and will gladly take a lot more
