Health care Bearded Dragon

Just remember that although the bearded Dragon in the wild eat fatty foods such as insects, but also has to do with lean times in which he invokes stored fats. In captivity he never or rarely need to fall back on stored stock. So keep its feeding back and forth, with lots of fruits and vegetables.

Symptoms:

The bearded Dragon is too thick! A thick bearded Dragon is sturdy and has a thick tail basis (sometimes even a thickening/bump). When the bearded Dragon is too thick form fat around the organs and especially the liver. As a result, the feature goes backwards, making the bearded Dragon at one point his condition and appetite loses. In the worst cases, a bearded Dragon dying from fatty liver.

Cause:

Fatty liver is often caused by an unbalanced diet for an extended period of time e.g. too much (protein-fat rich) insects.

Treatment:

Avoid fatty liver by alternating power supply. It is wise to adult bearded dragons no longer give daily to feed animals, seen them else to get fat. Better is they to them two or three times a week to give insects and every day fresh fruit and vegetables, having regard to the natural food, as mentioned before. A bearded Dragon who is suffering from fatty liver must therefore lose weight. Sometimes, however, there is irreparable damage in the body.
