eating own skin

[bkgone]

my little beardie just started shgedding and i went in and caught him eating his own skin.Does anyone know if this will be ok?

 

[shaun]

Although I don't have a beardie (i would love one) It is okay for the beardie to eat the skin, they get their calcium from eating the old skin.

they get their calcium from eating the old skin.

???????

There may be some protein maybe but I doubt whether Calcium is in shed skin. Can anyone verify this?

i know geckos sometimes eat their skin for calcium. beardies dont usually do it, but most of them seem to have a habit of eatting stuff in their cage
