Hi all
been awhile since i posted...
while at work today the biggest beardie in the tank of 5 (large tank, LOTS to eat, ages of all approximately 5mos - one female in the midst of the other - as an educated guess) got both his feet attacked and the tips of 2 toes on one foot and it looks like tip of one toe on the other foot nipped off.
Have moved the other 3 males (one of them the offender) to a larger enclosure and left the injured one with the smaller female in the same tank.
He's eaten since being attacked and he's not real active (as one would expect) I had my son soak him in a shallow bath for about 20 minutes to get most of the clotted blood off to separate the toes on their own as much as possible (they were sort of stuck together by the blood) when i got home i misted his feet with betadine to kill any bugs and hopefully any threat of infection......
how am i doing so far? does he need to go to the vet or should i just watch him for a few days...... so far he's not real ill as i said he ate his 10 crix this arvo and a few veges...( we separated him from the rest for a few hours while we made the enclosure changes for the rest)
let me know...
cheers and thanks
