Thoughts on Repti Bark

[Faustia13]

My brother bought my bearded dragon repti bark for her enclosure. I never used it before and I don't think I ever will again. My bearded dragon is 8mos. (will be 9 on the 23rd of this month) and 10in long. I notice she wasn't her self today. I was looking at her eyes today and she seemed sad, little did I know she was actually in pain.

I gave her a warm bath because she hadn't made a shadoobi all morning like usual, nor did she all day yesterday. THEN she finally made a shadoobi and another shadoobi and another shadoobi in her finally shadoobi I see something stuck in her bum.... BARK. has anyone else dealt with problems like this.

Also its the summer time here and its been reach degrees 95 and higher so she's been outside most of the time playing in the sand so she hasn't been in her tank as often since the uv rays been pretty high lately.

Probably one of the worst possible things you could put in your dragons tank.

It is also worrying that your dragon is 8 months old and only 10 inches long.

Yes I've been wondering about that too. she eats three to four times a day. 25 to 30 a day. she gets as much natuarl uv as possible and the uv light in her tank is just fine. so don't know why she is 10in. I check her length every month and she is growing but not fast enough.
