(lees meer over de aanschaf van een baardagaam).
An important role is the detection of disease symptoms. Good observation of your animal is worth. Watch with observing on; behavior, eyes (this must be clear), attitude, activity, appetite and color (bearded dragons that are often not feel dull/greyish in color). Make sure you, your bearded Dragon well knows and so know when he exhibits abnormal behavior. In reptiles can be quite let visible, that they are sick. Check the animals daily (e.g. during feeding) on their health. When you reach in notes that the bearded Dragon abnormal behaviour.
Despite all the measures you take can be a bearded Dragon anyway ill be. Therefore at such an early stage as possible go to a reptile arts (see list reptiles doctors). It is unfortunately far too common that people respond too late. (The sick bearded Dragon will out of instinct trying to hide that he is weak/sick.) Some diseases are only with security fix after an investigation of blood or feces. So always take some fresh faeces (feces) to the vet. Put the sick bearded Dragon apart from the other or other to soothe the animal so. The best than paper towels so that the stool can be observed. Make sure the temperature pleasantly warm. As a result, warm the bearded dragon on (heat does she often well).
If animals become weak and lose weight by constant food refusal, go first with them to the vet, to determine the cause and take away.

Ask the veterinarian what is the most appropriate for your reptile nutrition, related to the condition. Also remember that these animals often dry out quickly and give them with a pipette then also lime water.
