When your bearded dragon has nose plugs, it means that they are infected with an infection called rhinotracheitis. Rhinotracheitis is a respiratory infection that most commonly affects bearded dragons. Symptoms of rhinotracheitis include coughing, sneezing, and a decrease in appetite. Nose plugs can also obstruct the dragons’ breathing, so it is important to take your bearded dragon to a veterinarian as soon as you notice the symptoms. Treatment for rhinotracheitis typically includes antibiotics and a respiratory support system such as a nebulizer. Bearded dragons are resilient animals, but a diagnosis of rhinotracheitis and subsequent treatment can help keep your dragon healthy.

  • Snip off the excess wire.

How to choose the right nose plug for your bearded dragon?

Nose plugs are a great way to help your bearded dragon breathe better and look prettier. When choosing the right nose plug, you’ll need to consider your dragon’s size, the type of nose plug you’re using, and your dragon’s personality.

Bearded dragons are typically very active and playful, so a nose plug that makes them more active may not be the best choice for them. On the other hand, a more passive dragon may prefer a nose plug that makes them less active.
