Mystery behind missing toes?

I have noticed that Myah's missing two of her toes. They're stubs. I feed in a separate container and do leave greens in her tank at night just in case. But there are no crickets in her tank and I do a thorough search for them. Upon further inspection of my past photos, two of the toes were black, and the middle one is black too so we're going to wait for it to fall off.

Will these toes grow back or stay stubs?

They will stay Stubbs. She probably won't even know that their gone. My guy has all the toes on 1 foot missing -does not slowe him down a bit. Much to make sure that work doesn't go further up the foot. If it starts creeping up might want to have a vet look at it.

I'm keeping eye on her single toe. The other one had a black part to it, but it's not spreading to the others. I think I know what happened. She was with other bearded dragons and they could've nipped her when they were eating crickets. She's still a fast girl and she's turning into a regular cuddle bug. Black toe is visable and has fallen off. Middle toe looks like retained shed and I do soak her in warm water.

I noticed the stubs in her first photos when you got her. They probably did get nicked off during a feeding frenzy. They shouldn't affect her much. You can use a baby toothbrush to gently scrub the stubborn shed and that may help it to come off.

I'll have to get one. But I have a photo for the July contest or August Contest.

My brother and his wife lost their baby girl today. She miscarried. She was leaking amniotic fluid last night and went to the Hospital an hour or two away (She's stubborn) and stayed overnight. They induced labor as it was already too late.

It was about 5 months 1 week. They were planning a party this weekend for it to reveal the sex. It was a girl. It was her second miscarriage.
