Hi! I was cleaning my beardie a cage and basically my bearded dragon decided to JUMP out of her cage and onto the ground. I’m not sure the distance but he landed on my carpet. In the initial landing she wobbled a little bit (almost as if to gain balance?) and then she was completely fine. She’s been acting normal ever since and has a habit of jumping but I’m just worried about the fact that she wobbled a bit. Please help!
She probably knocked the wind out of her self -- just keep an eye on her behavior and if she starts acting funny like not eating going lethargic etc.. stuff that is not normal then I would be concerned and get her into the vet

They all seem to want to try & fly. How is she doing now, is she walking normally I hope?
Just watch for signs of injury like limping or lethargic behavior. About how far of a jump
was it?
I would say that as long as her appetite remains good & her behavior doesn't change then
she is probably no worse for the wear.

Unfortunately my beardie seems to want to fly a LOT. Once again she jumped off my shoulder (today) and it was really hard too, and on to the ground, though this time it was on hard wood. I heard a noise when she fell Nd it just really freaks me out.
Until your dragon gets older, and learns to not take those suicide jumps, it's probably best to not put her in a position where she can do that. Young dragons seem to not know their limits.
