I'm getting a dragon soon, but I have 4 and 1 year old cousins who like reptiles. Kids are dirty, and can get pinworms easily, I know that, but can they get to my dragon ?
Kids are dirty but reptiles are dirt-IER. Your concern should be can the kids get sick from the beardies actually. But no, don't worry about your kids giving the parasites to the dragon, if the kids were touching nasty things ad became infected with parasites, they themselves would be needing treatment. A beardie can live with a light load of parasites .
I agree that it isn't much of a threat but the concern should be more for the kids becoming ill. I would try to get the kids to wash their hands before and after handling the dragon to help minimize the threat of passing any nasties back and forth. The risk is small based on what I've seen and made even smaller when hand washing is practiced and the dragon is kept in sanitary conditions (poops cleaned up promptly and areas sanitized well etc).
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
