My Baby Bearded Dragon Fell

[kurt.]

My baby bearded dragon fell from almost 3 feet high he seems to be doing ok so far. I gave him a worm and he ate it with no problem. When he fell he was walking normally and right now he is currently basking. Also, I don't notice any injuries. I didn't see how he fell or how he landed so I was just wondering if I need to take him to the vet.

Watch for a black beard -- if he starts w/ one he could be in pain --- watch for his normal activity the next few days- how did he fall? We recommend that you dont bring them out when very young they think they are superman and try to jump to everything - please let him acclimate to his tank and surroundings and work on hand taming him in the tank - please make sure your husbandry is up to par w/ surface basking temps 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer and a good UVB No coils please they are inadequate and if any of this is off he will stop eating -- if you have more questions please ask or if you need help
