My bearded dragon got a hold of a fake fishing lure and ate a piece of it. The piece wasn’t very big but i’m worried it’ll hurt him. Any suggestions on what to do?

Take him to the vet. If he is a baby take him in double time. Impaction is no joke,take it seriously. Better safe than sorry

He’s isn’t a baby he’s a little over a year old. There isn’t any exotic vets open near me tomorrow just hoping he passes it.

Hello,

Since it is a very small piece, it "should" pass through. This is assuming that there wasn't
any sharp edges?
You can help things along with giving some canned pumpkin, & some unsweetened apple
sauce mixed with a drop or two of coconut or olive oil daily to see if that helps out.
Is h e doing ok so far?

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
