bleeding toe?

[brock2001]

on darwins back right longest toe it was all swolen yesterday like fred flinstone, almost like he stubbed it and now it's bleeding. It's not like gushing looks more like a fresh scab. Any ideas what it could be?

Anything rough or jagged in his house? Is he alone? If it starts bleeding you can dip it in cornstarch to stop it.

rough textured rock house and water bowl think and his tree, he does jump around a lot though so that might be it. i'm not too worried he is stressed so i'm not.

You might want to be worried. Beardies mask their pain and injury till it is too late most of the time. If his toe is gushing blood that really isn't good. Has it started pussing at all? Like a yellowish color?
Open wounds on bearded dragons can take up to a month to heal. Could you post a picture?
I would really suggest that you go to a vet, you don't want to get infected. If it does, then you will have some real problems trust me. You want to take care of the problem before you actually have one.

no, it wasn't gushing blood nor pussing, but it's a pretty much all healed. He's fine, he's a tough bugger
