Bearded trying to eat bark

[Mcoffee11]

We just got our bearded dragon a few days ago and he’s maybe 2 months old and about 7 inches long. I researched about taking tree branches from outside and found that they’re all pretty safe once baked except for pine or cedar. So I did this and our bearded dragon started climbing and then I noticed it was trying to eat some of the bark. Is it teething? Vitamin deficiency? What’s going on?

Beardies will try to eat just about anything. I had two that were clutch mates that would try to eat rocks. If the bark is scaley and peeling that might be all it takes to catch your beardies attention, I would either peel it off or remove it. It could cause impaction if he actually consumes it.
