Biting his own feet!

mturner01 Jun 27, 2006 08:32 PM

Ok, I have this insane baby dragon who has actually bit his own toes off on 3 feet. I suspected he was the culprit when he was the biggest one in the tub and got all the toes on his right front bit off in one day. So I doctored him and separated him by himself. He has now managed to get both back feet. I keep the antibiotic ointment on it thinking it was drying out and getting itchy and that was the reasoning. Then I though bad aim when going for the crickets, I watched and that is not the case. He has one full toed foot left and I want to save it. His back foot is bleeding and caked with ointment. Any ideas?

Have you seen him eating its toes? It couldn't be that the insects are eating them?
