    I did the middle one and it seemed too much for her tiny body... I gave the vet a fecal sample over 2-3 weeks ago, he gave her a clean bill of health, but I see no changes. I haven't even seen poo in 3-4 days. To be completely honest, She looks very bloated to me compared to the pictures I've seen of an AGTF. I don't think she is supposed to look the way she does but I may be wrong.

    Looks like hiccups to me.
    She may have swallowed a little too much water?
    You could take some of the water out. They just need a little
    Only her belly has to be in it .

    I only have 1/4" of water in there. She never goes in fully even when I try. She sits half way in and does it for 5-10 minutes if I don't disturb her. Maybe she is drinking through her butt?

    Oh good. It looked a little deeper that that.
    So shallow is fine, she will absorb it through her skin.

    I asked the doc about her when I took my bearded to the vet today, he doesn't know what's wrong with her. I've seen poo twice in the past month and I don't think she is eating anything. I fed her in a seperate container yesterday, which I may do again today, she ate 2 out of the 4 calcium covered crickets.. still no poopie. She looks very bloated to me.. she has been since I got her compared to the other photos I've seen of her species.

    If she's bloated, she may have a bacterial infection... I'm not sure, honestly, but it's a thought.

    An overload of bacteria can cause bloating in both frogs and salamanders.

    I could be wrong, I think she looks bloated... I've seen others and they weren't as fat as she is, and plus she feels squishy...

    Question about reptiboost... Can I use liquid calcium with it (she hasn't been eating, not even dusted crickets, and I'm worried about MBD)? Like half water half LC? or since she's so sick 1/4 LC and 3/4 water?
