what is your humidity level? the higher your humidity, the better off the spikes will be is what i was always told. your humidity may be to low, causing a dead shed and killing off the spikes. not sure if they will grow back.

spikes don’t grow back, they naturally lose some as they get older from falling and rubbing them on things. If humidity was the cause, if you check out the tail there should be un-shedded skin acting like a rubber band on the tail making it appear a little lump like this photo taken before amputation.

thx i had him in a cage with my beardie for a month while i was cleaning out my large cage and yea i think he has slight bumps but they are very small and he shedded the rest of his skin away now. and is better. hes also back into his big cage all nice and clean. so i think he’ll be fine now he only lost two, so its okay
