no calcium sand is much bigger grains than normals sand
and it is easy for a reptile to digest it also retains heat
to keep themselves warm at night. so you need to put a lot of that sand with calcium in it
Yes most likely. if you left worms or crikits in there it might of gone to eat them and missed and accidentaly ate sand. :( Or if it was laying on it's back when you found him he might of accidentaly buried himself in sand while struggling to turn over an swalloed some sand and suffocated:(
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...
A tree branch, water or sand
Repti Bark is not recommended as a substrate for bearded dragons. It can cause impaction if ingested and does not hold humidity well. Sand or tile are better options for bearded dragon substrates.
In hot desert environments with insects, vegetable matter and sand.

If he's on sand that could be the reason, if he's not on sand take him to a vet
bearded dragons come from Australia. they are used to the dessert so that means they need it hot and dry to be happy. If u are looking for a substrate I suggest reptile carpet it is safer than sand.
The best substrate for bearded dragons is a solid substrate like reptile carpet, tile, or paper towels. Loose substrates like sand or wood shavings can be harmful if ingested.

No, they need sand. Baby and juvenile dragons should have a reptile carpet with no loose strings, or they can loose their nails. - erin_animal_lover
