Hi! My baby bearded dragon Chai appears to have double jointed hips, but I’m not sure if it’s a serious health issue. She’s been like that since I got her in November, and she hasn’t grown much either. I feed her lots of small crickets, mealworms, waxworms, hornworms, and she’s a huge fan of leafy green like chard and mustard greens. She just moves her hind legs weird— she never really bends her knees, and sometimes when she’s startled, her legs bend upwards at the hips, like a V. I’ve been searching vet websites to find out what it could be, but so far I haven’t found anything conclusive since her only issues are the weird leg movements. She can run around just fine, and is pretty fast, but she always keeps her back legs straight when running, like her knees are locked. Does anyone know what this could be? I’m taking her to the vet soon, but any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
