So my bearded dragon is shedding and is running around its cage then it goes inside the water then he just stops and lies down is there anythiing i can do to help him? Can i still take him out and carry him?
Hello. I am in So Cal, too. No, it's the shedding. I take mine outside on a leash. They just go a bit cuckoo sometimes during their sheddings. It'll pass.DLohrman":8l2zqtiw said:I'm new to this too... I adopted 2 males, one a large what I guess I'd call adult and his cage mate a young adult. My younger male, Kimberly (poor guy with the girl's name, thanks to my 5 year old son), just shed on his feet, jaw and soon looks like the top of the head will be next. He is doing just fine with his food and acting normal.
My big adult male, Buddy, on the other hand is driving me INSANE! He is not eating his salad as he used to and is making a mess of the cage and water dishes by thrashing about everywhere. He gladly ate all his crickets today but is still running amok. I seem to recall the last time he shed I noticed his wild behavior but don't remember exactly. Could I be right in this shedding causing his restlessness or can it be something else? I'm in Southern California and have had really nice weather so I've been taking them from the cage and putting them outside in their patio enclosure. This may sound stupid but is he getting spoiled with the extra exercise? I'm giving him a bath tomorrow... maybe that will calm him down?
Thanks!
