no powder on his salad. he was very soft when i got him, his back and spines wernt properly developed.
now hes shedding and feeling rougher, and theres actualy a line of fresh skin on the tail base, i think the dead bit on the end might drop off, but if not its a trip to the vets, does anyone know a good one in cheshire?

I normally dust my beardies food with calcium mon-fri once a day and then with nutrobal on sat and sunday.

Think if your beardie has been lacking in calcium and other supplements it may be a good idea to make sure he's getting more now.
