Okay, first you need to separate your two beardies, and second, you need to take the injured one to the vet. Forget about the crickets right now. Get him to the vet ASAP!

Hello,

I am sorry you were in an accident & I hope you are ok.
However, your dragon may die if you can't get him any medical care, too which is important. He could get an infection from the bites. His arm literally fell off? What does his tail look like?
It is likely that he is getting an infection if he is already lethargic & not eating. Can you post a picture of him so we can see the severity of his injuries? You will need to keep those areas clean with some diluted betadine & antibiotic ointment on it at least 1-2 times per day. Though this will help it will not take any infection away that could already be present internally or traveling up his tail.
If you cannot afford to get him cared for properly, perhaps it might be a good idea to contact a rescue facility to see if you can get him to someone who can provide him with medical care right now. I realize that is not an easy decision, but, he may not make it if his injuries are that severe & not treated. He will most likely need a partial tail amputation from this.
On another note, you can never house 2 males together, it always ends in trauma one way or another.
Please keep us posted on him.

Hello,

I am also sorry to hear you were in a car accident! I am with Tracie on this...you need to get someone to help you, whether it be a family member or rescue facility as Tracie mentioned. Your beardie could be in serious danger of infection if not treated.

The best to you and your beardie,

Dawn

Yes I think thats one of the first things you should learn is that bearded dragons can live with small turtles in the same cage, but they cannot live with other bearded dragons. They will get really aggressive and fight, even everytime my Spike sees his reflection in a mirror he gets jet black. So you should definetly take your bearded to the vet asap.
