    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    I've had him under his new uvb all day since we got the new light. He makes no attempt to move to a different location. I've tried making a nutrition "shake" and putting it in a medicine dropper, but he won't lick if I drop it on his nose, and trying to put it in his mouth is impossible. He...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    Even with the new light, he just doesn't want to move at all. If I pick him up he stiffens up so that his whole body, even his tail is stiff. He only ate one cricket today. He had two poos though. He's just so pitiful.

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    He was so active and ate crickets like crazy. He seemed totally fine up until Dec 6th. Then he had his right leg folded back like it was paralyzed. I thought he may have fallen from his tall basking spot and hurt it. The next day on the 7th both front legs were weak and folded to his side. He...

    I will lower his basking spot. I have the light on top of the tank. It's a 20 gallon. His right foot is a little bit swollen, but not badly mostly the legs look normal, he just has them tucked back..

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    Draco is still in the same spot. He doesn't move except to poop, and then he just changes direction so as not to be laying on it. Yesterday he ate 10 crickets throughout the day, but he will not eat anything that doesn't move. I've tried to get him to eat squash and collard greens by squishing...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    I try throughout the day, at least 3 or 4 times a day. He will accept about 4 or 5 crickets at one feeding then he shuts his eyes and sometimes tries to scoot away. All other feedings he shuts his eyes and won't eat. He won't open his mouth for salad. I've tried the dropper on his nose, I'll...

    Okay, I'll put a washcloth up the sides of the rock. Thank you for the suggestions and help. I really appreciate it. Do you have any ideas about getting him water?

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    I'm putting him up there and staying at the table working beside him while he's up on it. He doesn't move. When I'm going to leave the table, I put him down on the floor of the tank and open the screen so that the uvb can reach him at 12 inches. I've been very worried about him, so I've been...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    Hello, Draco is still very fatigued, not moving much at all and his limbs are very stiff when he army crawls. However, he's having bm's every day and he's allowing me to feed him at least 4 crickets a day sprinkled with calcium and D3. I added to his basking spot so it is about 6 inches from...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    I got the Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb to put in the fixture instead of the one that came with it. I have a higher basking spot, but I took it out when he started acting sick so that he wouldn't try to get on it and fall off. I got two digital probe thermometers to put on each side of the tank. I set...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    It's cold and rainy this whole week here. If we get a nice warm day I'll see about taking him out. I've been trying to be as non-invasive with him right now and not stress him out by handling him so much. He has been in the same spot all day. I got him to eat five disabled crickets though today...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    The new uvb setup will be here today so I'll get that changed when it gets here. Draco is lethargic, not moving and will not drink anything. Tried to use a dropper and place drops on his nose, but he's refusing to lick it. He ate a couple crickets yesterday that wandered near him and he had a...

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    So I ordered the bulb and fixture in picture attached. In the 20 gallon tank I have, do I place this on top of the mesh top or do I need to mount inside the tank? I also ordered some strawberry banana flavored calcium powder with D3 to see if that will entice him to eat. It's flukers brand.

    Baby bearded dragon limp front legs

    Thank you for your reply Can you help me with links? I've looked and read and it seems different places have different advice. Some say to mount uvb inside terrarium, others say to leave it out so it doesn't get too hot. I will order these right away as well as thermometers. Thank you
