Our baby Beardie we got about 2 weeks ago was just taken out of him enclosure by our cat.

I can't find any bite marks, any scratches, any painful limbs as he was walking and running after we got him.

It was very quick as our cat jump up onto the shelf and stood on-top on the enclosure which made the lid fall in, giving the cat access of the beardie.

We can't see any signs of punctures happening, beardie is acting normal walking, basking, not acting stressed, and seems to be acting like his self...

How can I make sure he is okay, are there any signs to look out for that would warrant more help.

Black beard- please cat proof the tank -- your lucky - the dragon needs to be left alone now he needs to adjust to his tank and surroundings- make sure your surface basking temps are being taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- 105-110-- uvb please NO coils-- you want a long tube fixture we can recommend 3 good uvb's if you need them

Hello,

Wow, your little dragon was very lucky as Karrie said, thank goodness!
I would say that if he/she isn't exhibiting stress, still has an appetite, etc & is active then he should be in
the all clear right now.
Definitely fix the screen top lid, to where that doesn't happen again.
I'm really glad that it wasn't more serious.

Thank you, I was definitely a paranoid mess last night when it happened. We have moved the tank into a new room where the cat can't get into especially since last night we were lucky because we were home, today we are at work so I wanted to make sure our beardie was safe. This is my first time having a beardie and a cat... Last beardie we had I only had a dog and he was friends with our beardie. So this is definitely new to us, we actually ordered a new tank so gonna set that one up and see if it's better. 🤞🏽

Hello,

That's great you were able to get his tank moved to another room. As long as the cat isn't able to get to
him he will be fine. You definitely did the right thing, since you were gone during the day!
Any other questions, let us know!
