Greens are very important that young as well.. Feed that to him everyday along w/ feeders. I would try to get some Kale (or Collard Greens if no Kale is available) make sure stems are out because they are hard to digest. They're very easy to get at grocery stores. Judging from that pic from before he kinda looks under-weight to me in my opinion.
I really do agree w/ the others and think this might be a lighting problem.
I would do some research into that and see if you can get rid of those coil-type lights. Tube lights are better.
When being that young; Lighting is the key but too much lighting can over-heat him.
Do you have a humidity reader as well? How is it in his enclosure?
Did you see the youtube video link? I do not think he looks anywhere near underweight. Maybe the tank picture makes him looks skinny because his sides are darker. The lighting should not be an issue, I have even numerous people telling me that MBD doesnt even set in that early. And this happens literally overnight. Lighting issue is never overnight, it's a gradual deterioration. And my driftwood is about 6inches from the bulb which he always basks in. I know there's a lot of tube vs coil debate going on. But my dragon roams around only during feeding, otherwise will be at the basking area. There is a humidity meter in the picture. I have stated the enclosure readings in my post i.e. 50%
Nonetheless, I'm planning to get a better UVB to see if there is a difference in response.

Try to get an Arcadia D3 12-14 % bulb ASAP. Take him outside to sit in grass with you, a big dose of sunshine might help but keep him off concrete /asphalt that would cook him. Grassy area only. He may be developing ADV and/or it may be his genetics.. The Witblits/zero type dragons were the newest designer morph and some had lots of health problems in the beginning and are now bred by some people to make quick money, so they can have problems by being inbred.
My boy is always perched up high, he spends all day basking and only comes down when i feed it. His basking is 6inches from the bulb. And i always make sure he gets to 40degC after feeding to aid in digestion. He has been getting UVB light at least 14-16hrs a day. This is also coupled with D3 supplementation with his feeders. I'll look for a better UVB today and hope that helps.
I have been searching online, and have not found anybody posting symptoms about front hands being immobile. Usually its swollen eyes, back legs immobile, etc. Can anyone identify why front legs could possibly be immobile? Seems like a definitive symptom but I can't find what.
