ah! I checked his cage a couple minuts ago and cricket had thrown up, at first i thought he half ate the worm I left in there for him to eat later on, but then i saw that worm crawling around in the corner then I had reilised he took a pretty big dump, and then reilised he must of taken the dump then afterwords thrown up, and it was the super worm I had given him earilier this morning at about 10 this morning. he was only the tail end of it, I dont know if he jsut has trouble diguesting the worm, but cricket has just been acting werid and I'm woried somthings wrong, he hadnt really eaten much all week, I mean he was kind eating but like 1-2 a day, and usialy at weird time spurts. he's not draging around or anything or acting difernt, not allot of running, but thats not to odd, hes kinda a lazy guy, but he's just not eating right and now he jsut threw up, why is he acting so weird? does anyone know?

-_- wow, eh i think he threw up like 5 mins before I saw it, because I had been holding him for a bit about 15 ins before that, I had him out for a bit. I always take him out of his cage for a few hours a day, he doesn't really like it in there, so I hold him while I watch tv or let him scamper around in circles on the floor.

I would say to take a trip to the vet. He prolly needs a check up anyway since u just got him so it wouldn't really be much of a waste. Just from what i have been hearing it seems like he is not getting much better but the down side to this is that i don't know much about bearded dragons all i know is when your worried about your little one the vet is the best person to take care of that worry. Well i hope Cricket feels better. Good luck.

he ate his worm today, I'm gonna let it run out and see if it comes back up again. he didn't seem hesident to eat another worm, he also ate a cricket last night after throwing up earlier in the day. then to the vet he goes if he doesn't start to feel any better.

he's ok. noone knew why he threw up, but he's eating fine, not as regular. but thats because I give him bigger meals. but yea, he's still doing good and hes growing again. good stuff. thanks for all the...not helping. <_< lol oh well, he's alive. thats all the matters

oh I forgot to say what was acually wrong. it was hist light builb, he started convulsing and just laying around really tired and limp and I ameditly reilised he wasn't hot enough, his therm. broke because I tryed to movie it, I always asumed his temp was still in that 93 range, but aperently it had been droping. but yea, now i got this 40 dollor bulb that'll give him all his uv's and blah blah.
