Underdeveloped hatchling

Hi All,
I had a couple more babies hatch today but this one is underdeveloped with nubs for back legs and a shorter left front leg. Any advice?



Thanks!

He'll have to be housed alone if you want to raise him. Put only 1-2 very low pieces of cage furniture that aren't raised off the ground., like a small almost flat rock or piece of wood. Drip water on his snout for a drink [ he may not drink the first day or two ] and offer very tiny , slow moving prey items. What do you feed your babies ?

Hello,

Oh poor thing! I agree, you will need to make his basking areas lower so he doesn't have to climb right now. That will give him more confidence in getting around.
Small worms like phoenix worms or tiny silkworms would be easy for him to catch & eat.
I hope he makes it for you! Let us know how he is doing.

Aww I hope he grows alright

That is so sad! I hope he makes it!

Oh my gosh. That is the most adorable beardies I have ever seen! Oh man... you better cuddle that little guy so freakin hard. Call him Bob!

Right now we are calling him Mr. Stubbs but Lt. Dan came in for a close second

Babies are always sooooo cute, who can resist ? Mr. Stubbs is a good name unless it's actually Mrs. Stubbs. I see that both parents are trans. [ transluscent ] They tend to have problems and produce babies with deformities when trans. is bred to trans. It's better now but was more of a problem in the past. Just wanted you to know in case you'd never read that so you can think about whether you want to breed more.

That's good....just cripple the crickets by shaking them up in a jar with a tiny pinch of calcium. Then drop them right near him while they're dazed + slow moving. Do this with just 2-3 at first so he doesn't get overwhelmed.

Poor baby. I hope his internal organs are normal so he can live a long, pampered life despite the missing limbs.

Hello,

How is he/she doing today? I really hope he makes it. He will likely be such a sweetie pie so you can spoil him!
Keep us posted on him & his progress.

I hope he does okay! Such a sweet little thing.
