Now he has an inflamed beard spike

[noella5088]

Noticed this yesterday and thought he pulled out his spike because it was all scabbed and everything was ok. Today, it became red and inflamed. I went ahead and dabbed some triple antibiotic ointment on his beard spike. It bled a little afterwards. So, I guess he scratched at it while glass dancing. Poor baby. He cannot catch a break.
He also celebrated his 9th birthday yesterday. So, he's now officially 9 years old.
I don't know how these 'things' just pop up.

None of those. Fabric.
I took one of those grass ones and looked at it closely. I saw spaces where his little toes can get caught. I returned it. Those green ones never held his weight and I took that out and returned that one to the store. I've returned a lot of things to the pet store for refunds. The only thing I didn't return was a green resin basking spot that he doesn't use and that he couldn't figure out how to use it without falling over. I don't have any vines or things he can get stuck in his tank. I found his nails were getting stuck in some areas of the basking spots. I filed his nails down to where he can walk. He just won't put weight on this his foot and maybe one of the quick's close to the end of his nail and has yet to recede yet.
He had some critical care sprinkled on his greens tonight. He ate red bell pepper, yellow squash, powders, zucchini.

Earlier today, I wanted to see if he was interested in a single small roach as they aren't adults yet. He turned his head up at it. I read something about uric acid being low in small roaches. Maybe I'm wrong. He didn't want his roach and I didn't force him to eat it.

If he's eating the bsfl gel that's better than nothing - plus the salads- gonna get some help here
