Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Hurt Beardie
So I am new to the forums and wasn't sure where to post so General seems good enough.
I have a 3 1/2 month old Female Bearded Dragon. She is housed with her brother which is getting bigger than her faster. I have a 40 gal tank always has food in it, Greens, Dubias, Crickets etc. The other day he must have thought her back legs were crickets or something but bit both her back legs and they are messed up. I have been bathing her in warm water for 10 mins a day and add a little pedialyte to the water. I put neosporin on the wounds and try to hand feed her when she wants to eat. Is there anything else i can do to maybe help her?

Generally, when you have questions about a specific type of animal, you will get better response by posting in the forum for that specific animal. Accordingly, your thread has been moved to the Bearded Dragon Discussion forum.

Stop the warm water soakings, I would use silver sulfadiazine cream on the wounds. bandgage them up real good and change as needed. leave her alone to rest and heal.
This is how I would treat it I'm sure there are many different ways of treating this including seeing a vet.
Good luck.

got a picture? How bad is it? Beardies heal pretty fast depending on how bad it is. But saying her legs are messed up is pretty vague.

That's the worst foot the other seems to be healing and not as bad

does she use it at all? That middle toe will probably die and drop off, which shouldn't be a problem. The potential problem is if there are broken bones in the calf/ankle. The calf does look like it curves where the dark color starts, which probably isn't a good sign. It may have just swelled oddly, but thats what I'd be worried about right now, much more than the toe or bloody bits.

actually, its not the middle toe I was talking about, its the long toe. Those get nipped quite a bit when they are babies and it doesn't end up being a long term problem.

She uses it more when she baths but so far she tries to keep it still. She is really good about not moving around but she really doesn't eat anymore. I gave her some repti boost last night and I will again but she doesn't want super worms Dubias or crickets. Not even wax worms. So I left the wax worm in front of her to see maybe she would like a treat and a cricket made off with the wax worm
