my bearded dragon jst ate a rock!! the rock wasn't very big (around 1cm long and .75cm thick).. will he be ok?? i saw the rock and it was a really nice white colour so i brought it in and put it on my table next to the bed. so i got the dragon out and wuickly gave him a couple of worms and he ignored them and ran straight to the rock and gulp it was down withought me being able to do anything.. i would guess its usual for them to eat rocks in the wild but will he be ok??

I agree with Chanty though, beardie's aren't exactly the brightest crayons in the box

every one is different,different animals will react differently to foods, if my Merlin (b/d) has spinach it goes right through him etc...i would give heaps of hydration greens...corral red/green lettuce & endive ...let him have as much as he will consume....then next day spinache .
Keep altinating till it comes out..........& ditto on warm baths.
If in any pain ( if he constricts/paralises with conpactment) get to vet immediately).
If anyone dissagrees please let me know.......ive done this & it helped one of my girls. |
