Soap

[Skipper7]

Hello all,

I'm supposed to be studying for finals right now, but skipper decided to walk through her poop. Will this soap be safe for her?

 

[CooperDragon]

Yeah that should be OK. It's unscented plain soap. Just don't let her drink any of the soapy water.

 

[Skipper7]

Thank you cooper.

Scrubbing wasn't fun for either of us, but I'm happy she's clean and she's glad I'm finished.

I keep a little dr bronner's baby mild soap (you can find it at target) on hand because it's nice and gentile. I put some into the bath to make it cloudy/milky color and give Darwin a 10 min soak in it and that does the trick nicely with minimal scrubbing needed.

She had a bit of dried on poop from the other day :shock:
I have very sensitive skin so I figured she should be able to use the dove if it worked for me. Ill look into the dr bronners. Have you used or heard much about this scented soap? http://www.beardeddragon.co/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=180
Skipper isnt stinky, but an almond, tea tree, or lavender scented beardie might be nice during snuggle time

I'd be careful about using scented soaps or other scented products with a bearded dragon. They're more sensitive to odors than we are and what smells nice to us might be irritating or even toxic to them.

Sometimes a soak in plain warm water and a little gentle scrubbing is all that's needed to remove poop, food, etc.
