Hello, someone surrounded their bearded dragon to me..for someone who has had one in the past..I need some some major guidance so I don’t make the same mistakes again!!
Yes they are missing! I have had 2 bearded dragons in the past and both hind legs had nails lolIve had many beardies and you will be surprised how much food they can consume for their size. Are u sure its the nails missing and not part of the toes?
One requirement is high levels of UV. Use an Arcadia 12% HO tube. Mount it about 18 inches above the lizard. Have it on for 6-8 hours mid day, in addition to a large basking area. If you can make a safe, escape proof, semi shady enclosure outside where the lizard won't over heat, sunshine is very good for them. You can also put them on a reptile harness and sit out there with them if you prefer. Also be sure to use a good calcium supplement. I prefer Rep-Cal. Roaches are better for them than crickets. Variety is good.So update, found out beardie is a girl and the sand mat caused the damage in hind legs! I took her to the vet and they told me what to change and gave me medicine for her respiratory infection that I suspected she had! ??
she’s doing better! The the process of looking for a bigger tank!
