You can contract salmonella from a bearded dragon primarily through direct contact with the reptile or its environment. The bacteria can be present in the dragon's feces and on its skin, so handling the animal without proper hygiene can lead to infection. Additionally, touching surfaces contaminated with salmonella, such as tanks or bedding, can also pose a risk. It's essential to wash hands thoroughly after handling bearded dragons or cleaning their habitats to minimize the risk of infection.
It's likely the change in his diet has upset his digestive system a little. Feed him the vegetable matter ONCE a week on the same day and check his feces afterwards. IF it only changes after you feed him the mustard greens - try changing to different vegetables. If in ANY doubt - consult a vet !
Yes, he should be fine. It's not normal behaviour to eat their own faeces, but 'accidents' do happen. If it's a regular occurrence - get him checked out by a vet - just to be safe.
It is most likely that the food you are feeding it with, has red dye in it.
Is it safe for dogs to eat there own Feces? No, but they do anyway.
ALL reptiles carry salmonella - regardless of where they were bred. HOWEVER... Taking simple precautions when handling reptiles will drastically reduce the possibility of catching salmonella.... ALWAYS wash your hands after handling reptiles or their food - or cleaning out their vivarium. Use either a commercially available product OR a weak solution of Milton fluid (the stuff you sterilise baby bottles with) - one CAP of Milton to two GALLONS of water will suffice.
Yes you can but only if you must. I prefer a dragon be soaked in just warm water but sometimes if you "Rescue" Like me they come extremely dirty. I use either a bit of dove baby soap, or blue dawn and I dont put it directly on the dragon, just his/hers bath water and run it to make bubble bath and scrub them in that with a tooth brush. but I only had to do this for one rescue who came to me covered in his own feces. I did it to get him clean and examine a missing limb on the animal
NO SAND!!!! I have one ATM. His name is DotA. Get him a carpet, and Bearded Dragons are Desert Reptiles, So red sand? Duh. Or orange/ normal sand. But you need to take note of. When they eat, bearded dragons also use the bathroom in the sand, and when they eat, they catch crickets, and then the crickets can get attached to the feces that is on the sand or left over from what you picked up and they can ingest it and that can cause serious health problems...
They eat wildflowers and greens. they also eat their own feces. I know it's gross, but that's how they get some extra vitamins and minerals. (P.S. Rabbits don't always live in burrows!)
Rabbits don't really eat feces, they eat cecotropes; otherwise, a healthy pet rabbit diet consists mostly of hay, fresh water, some high-quality pellets daily, and some fresh greens daily. See the related questions below for more details and helpful links.
