- Beardie name(s)
- Revali (nickname Ravioli).
Unfortunately this year his bones started getting worse again right when he started brumation, so I haven’t been able to help him as well as I did when it was hotter.
Before, I would give him more calcium powder more often in his foods, take him outside in the sun safely for hours, and not feed him any treats that have phosphorus.
That definitely helped him heal to not shake at all eventually, but even when he’s in his terrarium all day with his UV lamp, his health is frequently up and down. Indicating from how frequent he shakes. Some weeks little to no shaking and some weeks frequent small bits of shaking.
Though thankfully he seems a lot more alive and attentive than when he started brumation.
I try and put more calcium in one serving than before, try to see if I can feed him a bit everyday(though he often refuses), and now I just try and see if lightly massaging the spots that twitch help them stop but I don’t really know if it does anything.
My sister has started to try calcium with simply water in a syringe that’s safe for him. Hoping that helps.
What more can I do.?
