Hey everyone!
A company had been going around my neighborhood to cut branches off of the trees and I decided to take a few of them for my beardie's enclosure. I finished the process of cleaning and then smoothing out the branches with sandpaper, but the bark on the largest one won't come off. I don't think they are sharp enough to injure my beardie, but better safe than sorry! What do you think about leaving the bark on branches used in reptile enclosures? Any advice/opinions would help a lot!

Hello,

in the pictures it doesn't look like they're too sharp but I would watch just in case. If your beardie has cuts and you think it might be from the branches, then remove them. but to me they don't look it's gonna harm him.

I agree, just keep an eye on it, but I don't think the bark will be harmful. It might be helpful during shedding. My dragon likes to rub up against his habba hut bark to help remove shed, especially along his face.

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
