I'm freaking out right now my beardie is just a juvenile and she's not eating, not using her back legs, and her tail seems to be twisted. This is my first one and have no clue what this means I'm not going lie I've been crying do to lack of knowing what is going on with her. Please help me to figure out what to do please

Hello,

Sorry your dragon is having some trouble. Based on your description, it sounds like your
dragon has metabolic bone disease from the lack of UVB exposure, & calcium intake. Can
you review your tank setup for us, such as the type/brand of UVB, temperatures, nutrition &
supplementation along with pictures of her your tank setup.
How long has she not been eating?

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
Taking my beardie for a walk
