I wouldn't use sand at all because from my experiences they die even if there old I WOULDN'T trust it !
Edit: You shouldn't really use sand - because it can irritate the lizard. You're better off using bark chippings (available from ANY reputable reptile retailer) as these are easier to clean when soiled.
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...
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
Bearded dragons wave as a form of communication or to show submission. It is a natural behavior that they use to interact with their owners or other bearded dragons.
yes
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:(
Just like us, through their lungs.
I put sand inmy bearded dragon's cage when they were around 6 months old, however, the type of sand I put in is man made and has calcium and nutrients in it and is completely safe for them to eat.
