Nose Rub

[ad]

Hi All,
When you have a lizard that keeps rubbing its nose on the glass and has given itself a wound, what can prevent the animal from continually doing it and what is the best treatment for the wound?
Cheers

Thats a matter of intrest to me too, my shingle has been rubbing on the glass a bit lately too. Any remedys appreciated, thanks. Would plants in front of the glass (inside) prevent it? I.e visual barrier?

be asurtive and usea firm tone and say 'no' when they start to rub their nose on the glass :idea:

well It could only work with dogs

They dont understand glass. Put up a visual barrier.
Use betadine and wash wound daily.

yeah, my male beardie got nose rub from their out door enclosure... only because he was showing off to his gf. I used betadine once a day and it cleared up nicely!!

Put up a visual barrier.
