so today i noticed my bearded dragon was missing one of her back claws. The claw was bent to the side for unknown reasons since she was a baby, and the whole claw apparently fell off. She doesnt seem to be bothered, but i want to be sure this is not a health issue. any and all advise is greatly appreciated.
Toe Claw Missing, Health problem or no?

Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected or start turning darker colors. You can put raw unpastureized honey on it to promote healing. Just make sure to use a solid substrate(which is better for them anyway).
Most times it will have no ill effects, heck they don't even know its gone (or at least they act like it)!

It didnt appear to have an open wound, so it might have happened a while ago and i just never noticed. She also seemed more comfortable with it gone, due to the bent claw being gone. Will that claw grow back, and if it does, will it be normal, or is it permanently gone?Gormagon":3knf4flh said:
