I have just had a beardie hatch (Its the first time for me). It was fine at first (It took him a while to right himself). I took it out & put it into a set up. The set up has play sand in which I didn't think would matter. Anyway, it was fine, running around & occasionally falling off stuff. After 30 minutes though he started trying to bury/scratch his head in/on the sand (example: an adult scratching to remove flaking scales). It got a lot of sand in its eyes, so I used a small paint brush to remove it all then put it into a small tub with toilet role in the bottom. For an hour or so it didn't open its eyes & moved in spasms, it is now slowly opening its eyes & moving a little better.
Has anyone got experience in this sort of behavior? My mate is round here (Herptastic) & he has hazarded a guess at lack of calcium?
I hope someone can help!
