I'm new to bearded Dragons. I just acquired an adult female in a 40 gal with rabbit pellet sub part of it's damp and there are fruit flies!! She seems very stressed right now. Should I leave it for a whileir change immediately? I don't want to stress her more but don't want her to get sick either. She seems healthy and is eating atm. Thanks!
New girl, bad substrate. Help

I would get rid of the substrate as soon as you can. Damp w/fruit flies doesn't sound good or healthy. Give the tank a nice cleaning with some F10 or Wipe Out and put a solid substrate in place (non adhesive shelf liner would work well for now). While you're cleaning, you can take her out of the tank and put her in a safe spot in the room. She may enjoy having some time to explore as long as it's done in a safe area.
