Someone else on here said they use it. It's kinda spongy so it's easy on the toes (he he). And it comes in all sorts of colors!! Just make sure when you wash it, you use hot, hot water to kill any bacteria/salmonella.

When I clean it, I soak it in boiling water and a small amount of vinegar

LOL! Thanks. I'll try that.

Okay. Thank you. This whole time I keep calling him "he" but I don't really know for sure what sex "it" is. It's still a juvy and I'm not sure if you can tell yet. He's /she's only about two months old.

I'm not sure if my response posted or not, but I'll try this again. I wasn't able to get a clear picture. I was able to remove the skin covering one of his nostrils, but was not able to clear the other one. He does seem to be breathing better now. Is this normal to be plugged up like that?

Help! My beardie's nostrils seemed to be covered with something. It could be molting skin that has not shedded off yet, but he seems to be "gasping" to get air. I first noticed it over a week ago and thought it was normal till I saw some photos on here and noticed the nostrils are not...
