Treating a mad bearded dragon
Whether you have a new beardie or have adopted one from the pet store, you need to be aware of the signs of stress. Stress can lead to diarrhea and other ailments in bearded dragons. Bearded dragons are omnivores, meaning they eat insects. These creatures get most of their protein from insects, but should only be fed insects that are safe for bearded dragons.
During the first week, you should be able to tell if your bearded dragon is stressed out. If your bearded dragon has lost its appetite, you should visit a veterinarian to rule out internal parasites. You can also check the animal’s poop for blood. If there is blood in the poop, your bearded dragon may have internal bleeding. This is often a sign of a parasite.
Bearded dragons are sensitive creatures. They can be stressed when they are exposed to extra commotion, cold temperatures, or an environment that is too harsh for their bodies. These problems may be permanent, or they may resolve themselves. If your bearded dragon is suffering from stress, you should work to alleviate it. You can do this by reducing stress through a variety of methods.
Keeping your bearded dragon’s enclosure properly temperature-controlled is important. Ideally, the temperatures should be between 95 and 110 degrees. If temperatures are consistently low, your bearded dragon may develop more serious illnesses. You should also ensure that the temperature gradient in your enclosure is correct. To do this, you should place a thermometer at the bottom of your bearded dragon’s basking spot, and a thermometer at the top of the cool side of your enclosure.
You should also ensure that your bearded dragon gets adequate exposure to UVB rays. UVB light is essential for the health of bearded dragons, as the UVB rays help them produce vitamin D3. When you are not home, it is important that your bearded dragon spends at least 30 minutes outside its enclosure per day.
If you have a captive-bred bearded dragon, you should take it to a veterinarian to be screened for parasites. Bearded dragons can get parasites through contact with other reptiles or through prey. They can also carry certain parasite loads without affecting their health. The veterinarian should administer the appropriate deworming medications.
The veterinarian should also check the animal’s poop to look for signs of parasites. If the animal is found to be carrying parasites, you should stop feeding and treat the animal with a reptile disinfectant.
You can prevent diarrhea in bearded dragons by ensuring proper hydration. To do this, you should always give your beardie water throughout the day. You should also make sure that the water is not too deep. This is because your beardie may be able to swallow small amounts of water and become dehydrated.
What happens when a bearded dragon gets mad?

Why is my bearded dragon turning black?
A bearded dragon can turn black to let you know that it is upset, stressed, angry or annoyed. In this way, it alerts those around it to the fact that it finds a threat. Many factors can contribute to a bearded dragon’s stress: molting, a new terrarium, intimidating decor, noise.
