You got those too? I hate that.. they're a great product, the beardeds love them.. but The dye they use is frustrating as hell!
Perhaps some people should get together and send the complaint to them.. It's not a complaint against the product and it would be easy enough to lesson the amount of coloring they use.. heh.

No idea on how to get them out, Soap lessens the color.. and Sheds will get rid of it, just takes time.. I alternate feedings with tons of greens and fruits.. It seems to work well enough.. not as brightly colored. and it doesn't stain the skin.. Hopefully it wasn't a prize dragon eh?

i find that just spot cleaning as frequently as possible really really helps...my dragon has a lot less markings on it and almost gone now over a period of two weeks...but i kno this aint possible for all of us

Try gently scrubbing with a soft tooth brush while soaking your beardie.

Spot cleaning might work, but it's when the feces are wet that it's a trouble and I'd have to be around all day to catch them in the act.. 2 weeks? Heh must have taken a lot of soakings since the spot My female has gone through maybe 3 or 4.. It's my male that loves them to death

I am having problems with the coloring also. Soaking and gently brushing takes most of the stain off. However, the grooves still are stained. It is heck on the cage furniture also. Ugh!
