y is my beardie biteing her toe??? is she not sheading it of sumpin should i soak her and if so for haw long

Beardies can start biting their toes when they're starving and don't get enough food. What are you feeding her, how much are you feeding her, and how old is she? If she's biting her toes because of starvation, it's definitly time to do some serious reading on beardie care. If that isn't the cause, I really don't know what it could be. I've never seen a beardie biting her toes because of shedding.

of course i feed her shes 1year and 2 months old i give her veggies every day constant supply of pellets and at least 6 crickets she usally wants more and yes shes very fat

My beardie will eat 50 crickets and veggies in one day, you should feed until she stops or until 10 minuttes is up. Could you post a picture so we could see if we consider her fat?

that is way too little. From what I understand the majority of the diet of an adult should be veggies and insects should be fed every other day or so.

1. Stuck shed, soak it and use a soft toothbrush to get between the toes.

2. Mites, again soak it and drown the mites

3. Fungal infection, use nolvasan baths to soak the feet in and take to a vet for topical to treat or what he suggest.

4. Vitamin or mineral lack, what are you dusting and how often and what light sources are you using?

5. Hungry, what are you feeding it and how much/often

All these things are husbandry related and can be corrected easily if you know which it is.
