Bearded Dragon’s Femoral Pores Clogged

[ScatterBrain]

Do I need to take my beardie to the vet? I’ve unclogged his pores a few times before just gently scrubbing with a toothbrush, but this time it’s pretty bad. I’ve spent the last 10 minutes with him in the bathtub trying to gently squeeze the pores with my fingers or a tweezer, nothing coming out. What should I do?

No, those aren't bad, pretty much normal. Just be sure you have rough climbing areas in his enclosure to crawl around on. You can keep up a warm bath once a week as well.

they dont look bad honestly. Put something like a rock or slate in his tank, something a bit abrasive (but not too sharp that he could hurt himself) so he can rub the excess off by himself. Femoral pores arent supposed to be just empty pores anyway, it's only concerning if they're sticking out a lot or have inflammation imo.
