Like any pet, bearded dragons can develop health issues if their care is not optimal. Some of the most common problems include metabolic bone disease, respiratory infections, and impaction from ingesting loose substrate. Signs of illness may include lethargy, lack of appetite, swelling, or abnormal shedding patterns.
The bedr approach encourages preventative care through a balanced diet, proper UVB exposure, and regular veterinary checkups. By following BERD guidelines, owners can ensure their BERD stay healthy and active.
