Bearded Dragon Egg

Hi, Im new to this forum!!
We recently adopted a Bearded dragon from a rescue centre. Sadly the batch were in a poor state when found. Due to neglect and not being fed,they were all missing limbs from somewhere as they had began eating each other in starvation Some were missing hands or feet. The one we have adopted no longer has a tail. You wouldn't of thought he had been through such an experience, he is eating well, very lively running about and is a friendly little guy we think he is around 3/4 months.
As he dosen't have his tail for balance sometimes when he climbs he falls over, occasionally onto his back, and he has to roll around a bit (like a tortoise) to right himself. It's quite a sorry sight sometimes although it is quite cute seeing him flip back over
I was wondering if anyone else has owned a bearded dragon without a tail? is this a necessary part of anatomy, could it affect his longevity? anything i should look out for? apart from the falling over issues he has sometimes he seems quite happy. We named him Stumpy as we thought it was quite fitting
Thanks!!
