So, my beardies are kinda stinky. I give them baths fairly regularly but the odor still remains...
I was wondering if there was any sort of natural or chemical compound that wouldn't be harmful to them.
I use baking soda and water to clean their viv and it works really well at fighting the odor in there, anything similar that I could scrub a little on them to make them not smell so bad?

Yes there is something you can use. Beardeddragon.co sells a natural soap for bearded dragons. I got the one with the Almond oil and after a few washings my beardie smelled a lot better.

Do NOT soak them in any soaps, however. They absorb water through their vent so you do not want them to absorb the soap. I soak them as normal for about 10-15 minutes, then drain the water and get a soft toothbrush and use the soap to clean them, even their little feet. Then I rinse them under warm water to get all the soap off.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
