ok this is my 2nd full season of breeding beardies. i have had the usual newbie mistakes happen and all. but this time its different. i have at least 3 hatchlings with feet rotting off. 2 have the left rear foot rotting off and one has the front right foot rotting off. the toes of these babies dont look like they were ever seperated, sorta like a "webbed toe" thing going on. the foot turns black and dries out and falls off. i have put quickstop on the wounds of all the dragon this has happen to so it doesnt spread to the legs. i have never had this happen with any other clutch. i also had one baby who had an arm totally cut off, didnt look like a bite from another dragon, it was clean cut off. i tried to save the little one but it didnt make it. id like to know what is going on? is this a normal thing happening or something that im doing wrong?


also does anyone know or use a humane way of uthenizing a dragon other than spending alot of money to have a vet do it? i know its a hard thing to do and i dont look forward to ever doing it but its better than having a dragon suffer.
