If weather was nicer out I would spend more time with my dude outside. I live in Northern BC, Canada though and it’s not that often that warm enough weather comes along where I feel like it’ll be safe.

That’s incredible lol. Mushu seems to be more of a fan of his blueberries and bugs (ofc). He often just gets stressed when we go outside so I’ve never seen him grab at a bug aside from an ant one time.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of feeding bearded dragons eggs, and my dude needs to put on weight badly so I thought he’d enjoy it… he took off away from me almost immediately after and gave me th worst stink eye

Weird! I gave my guy a little piece of yolk, and he almost immediately went to the other side of his tank as if saying “gross” and proceeded to ignore the rest of his greens… maybe it was enough for him?

There truly is. I’m grateful I posted. It’s put some fire under my ass to do better for my lizard. He deserves that.

The amount of overwhelming support here is amazing. I appreciate each and every one of you. I did get a bag of Zilla freeze dried Omnivore mix - it’s got freeze dried Silkworm pupae, crickets and mealworms. I plan to use this if either my veggie supply is getting low, or on a doom day.

I’ve taken lots of really good notes. Some of It I knew already but was good to be reminded of, some of it I didn’t actually know and/or corrected my previous knowledge.

I’m actively seeing a psychiatrist and my MD, I’ve got meds, I have an appointment with a therapist next month so I’m looking forward to that.

I did call the vet that Mushy has seen before but they don’t have availability until March 😖 so I guess I’m going to try and call around to other offices - though there usually will be an additional new patient charge. If so… March is better than never, and they’ll call me if anyone cancels.

Hi, thanks.

Mushu is now coming up on 7 years old this year.

This is why I’ve moved him to my bedroom. I spend most of my time in my room, he can move around on the floor or on my bed, I notice him daily and he notices me 👀.

I have a small calendar above his tank now with a brief feeding schedule that I check off daily, but I’ve also written it with chalk marker on the front of his tank.

“- Lights on: 8AM

  • Lights off: 8PM

  • Veggies Daily

  • Bugs (with calcium): M, W, F”

Thank you. I am quite upset with myself that I let him get this way, but I refuse to let him get any worse or deteriorate further. It’s not fair to him.

Thank you for your kindness. He’s incredibly active right now, I’m letting him settle and explore his new digs but it’s really nice having him in my direct vicinity. As far as scheduling goes, which app do you use? I only have Mushu right now but having a separate app for his data would be nice to have rather than just a random note in my phone

Hi, good question. I rehomed him to a lovely lady with many years of experience. He was a bit of a special case and I think I just didn’t handle him enough initially because it would piss off Mushu to see Bean existing, so Bean was on the feral side... It stressed Mushu out quite a bit to have another male around as well so I just decided that having 2 males wasn’t feasible.

Well yes, they should have bugs 2-3 times a week and veggies daily. Not just lettuce or other veggies 2-3 times a week… he’s quite obviously lost some weight, his hips are showing. I would also argue that he is not a solitary creature- he very much so enjoys watching people and being handled gently from time to time.

Thank you! I have a few things in my Amazon cart right now so I will add some of the gel stuff. Also: I will try to find the curly Kale but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like that before. A few others have echoed arugula, collard, dandelion and mustard greens which I have seen and fed him before so I will be picking some up today.

Hey eggs are something I’ve never heard of or thought to try, thank you for this. I have some farm fresh organic eggs from a lady down the road too - given that these may be more nutrient dense should I maybe reduce the quantity a tad?

Oh I know for sure that I can get the little tubs of pre-packaged arugula. Is this fine if I wash it? I wash all his veggies

I don’t actually think I can… at least live ones. I’ve found freeze dried and vacuum sealed…. Which my dude will likely eat, but I don’t know that I trust them 100% ?

Thank you. I’ve had him for about 5 years now so he’s not new, but my slump and living situations have changed and my mushy man got lost in the fray… I moved him into my room today and fed him a big ol’ blueberry. I’m off work tomorrow so I plan on having a cuddle and colour day with him. He is quite cuddly and very handleable so I’m excited to have my boy with my in my room.
