Poor Lulu has been shaking and is so twitchy when she moves. I don’t know how to relieve her and I feel bad. Also idk if our vet works with bearded dragons. It looks so serious and her front legs are like jello when she tries to move... Please Help! I want to comfort her somehow

Do you have a uv b bulb and what kind, and have you been feed her calcium dusted insects? It does sou N like she has mbd and you really need to take her to the vet. I would just keep her warm until you find a vet

- Idk how to reply so I’m just going to do this but yes I have been feeding her calcium dusted insects and we have oral calcium. I have a UV light but I’m not sure what kind. (I’m not home)

If your UVB has plastic covering the bottom or if it's a round/curvy bulb instead of a tube one that stretches throughout the enclosure, that may cause problems, or maybe you just haven't replaced the light in a long time. Unlike some lights, the UVB needs to be replaced not just when it burns out. It matters what kind of light you have but most bulbs need to be replaced at least once a year, and weaker ones every six months. I hope that your beardie gets better soon. :(

Hello,

How old is Lulu?
Absolutely, we need some specifics on your tank setup, such as the type/brand of UVB,
temperatures in the tank, supplementation given, foods offered, etc so we can review it
all with you to be sure everything is correct.
Did your dragon fall off of a basking area & injure herself?

Let us know how she is doing.
Tracie

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
