Dragon ate a beech chip

I think he ate a beech chip with a locust that he picked up, I tried to grab it but he fancied a nibble on my finger Anyone had a experience with this? I’ll attach a photo of the substrate

Watch for any signs of impaction or stomach injury and encourage him to poop. You can try baths, a belly massage, baby food, etc.
Do you know how large the chip was?

poor guy, nibbled ur finger Howd that feel? Im afraid to get bit by my beardy and i own a tokay gecko lol , how big is the chip compared to his head? I haven’t seen that substrate before, it looks like a softer wood compared to whatever tree “reptibark” is derived from , hopefully he just got a little extra fiber and will be okay. Let us know if anything happens

Oh gosh, tokays (most of them) are nightmares!!! I've been bitten by a beardie a few times, it's not super fun. They've got teeth and strong jaws, and it definitely leaves a mark. Doesn't usually break the skin, but it's come close for me before.

I'd say to watch for signs of impaction and give him some frequent soaks if you spot any. Belly massages can also help, as mentioned above.
