Losing nails

mobmilli92 Apr 19, 2007 06:22 PM

I'm not sure if beardies shed their nails. We've had Draco since 2002 and have not had this happen before. She is either breaking or losing her nails- only 2 right now. 1 front foot & one back foot on different sides.

Any ideas what could be going on- she's 5yrs old & a single beardie.

I have a rescued dragon that I rescued twice. Between the 1st and 2nd time she lost 7 toes. I suspect it was a calcium deficiency.

No hammocks. She's in a glass cage with sand. Could be from the large rock in her home.
