I would ditch the substrate. Please use something like tile, reptile carpet, or paper towels as soon as possible. Loose substrate can cause respiratory issues and impaction.

My bearded dragon has developed an odd lump on the base of his tail... It's been there for a while, but I just now realized how out of place it is. I'm very certain it's MBD. It's definitely his spine.. I feel so stupid for letting it get this far unnoticed. He's very active and eats A LOT. He...

Hmm. Might it possibly be genetic?

Yeah.. he acts fine. It's hard. He's growing and it actually seems to be reducing a bit. But the very confusing part is, pretty much all the other beardies had it. And this one's a leatherback. The others were reg. Is there... any explanation to that..?

Wait, really?! I was expecting him to be dead or.. worse or something. I'm so glad he recovered! Baby beardies are such sweet little things.

Oh god... this just breaks my heart. I hope he'll be okay.

...Hello?

Kinda an odd question, but I've been wondering about it for a while and I wanna take it off my mind. Nothing's wrong with my beardie. I just wanna know something. IF a bearded dragon becomes ill with a respiratory infection upper or lower, is there any home remedy that could stop it in its...

He's not exactly a hatching. He's fairly bigger than a "newborn". I know that their diet sort of... swaps when they grow up. I just wasn't sure what to give him anymore since he refuses to eat crickets.

Alright.. gotcha.. now I have a whole container of these superworms for nothing.. what am I supposed to do with them?

Alright. So, my beardie hasn't been eating his crickets lately.. and he's starting to get pretty skinny. I've tried Phoenix worms and he loves them, but the problem is they're very small and the pet stores here only sell them in small amounts.. so, today I decided to get him some small...

That's a good idea.. I've already started to collect some. Something odd I noticed is that a lot of them have the same bump at petco. Even though they were in seperate aquariums/stores. Maybe it's something from the breeder?

True. But it's not exactly easy to get him one, considering how busy I am... I'm trying to find someone good.. I'm very anxious about it.. but I'd like to hear if anyone can tell just from the given facts..

I doubt it's an abscess or an aneurysm. It feels hard like bone, I can't move it around, and he's always had it. I'm pretty sure it has to do with his skull, but what I'm worried about is how it could mess with his brain.. then we'd be in big trouble. Anyhow, thank you so much for the...

Alright then.. I'd still like to know more about what this might be or what it's called. If any of you know, or know somebody that might know, please give me more information over it!

What about when he grows up though? Will it affect him?

He is. But I'm reeaally afraid to lose him.

He's eating just fine now. I have a few other concerns but I'm keeping those on other posts. Thanks for the advice!

So, I just noticed this isn't "normal" on baby beardies from pics I've seen... They all have flat heads.. My baby's got a bump where his third eye is. It's very risen and visible. Is this normal..? He's had it for as long as I've had him.. he seems to act normal, eat, drink, poop, run around...

Around 8 - 10 daily. They're fairly large. But he seems to pay more attention to the bigger ones than the tiny smaller ones. He tried to munch on a piece of grape but didn't seem to like it, since he dropped it on his basking spot after nibbling on it a little. (It was definitely small enough...
