[QUOTE="Zaargo, post: 2022860, member: 114053"] Hey guys, after an emergency vet visit I am posting now to ask a question to all experienced owners. I've had my bearded dragon for over a year now, kept him on tiles(as recommended) and he has plenty of climbing and hiding spaces. Today I've found him unresponsive, black bearded and barely able to walk. Immediately called the vet and drove to him. Luckily, no serious injuries like broken bones or damaged organs. But inflammation values in his blood are 5 times as high as they should be. The vet concluded that he hurt himself somehow, maybe falling and damaging his muscles. Thing is: I don't know how that happened. I guess since he's been jumping around in his enclosure he maybe just fell down somewhere and hurt himself. My question now: how can I ensure that doesn't happen again? The only thing I can imagine is to use sand, in case he falls again it will be softer than the tiles. But I've always been told that sand is bad, and now I'm desperate because I really don't wanna see my boy hurt like this again. If anyone can help, I'll be very grateful. Thank you in advance! (And sorry for any false spelling) [/QUOTE]
