    Beginnings of Metabolic Bone Disease??

    I don't know how old he is--I got him from a pet store--but I've had him for only two months now. He stopped eating for a couple of days, but he eagerly snatched up a baby roach last night, so I was thrilled! Thanks, Chelsea

    Beginnings of Metabolic Bone Disease??

    There has been no twitching of anything at all... I turned off the coil and am in the process of getting a new UVB strip light. I'll just take him outside for a while each day to supplement the lack of UVB until it gets here. I don't think it's possible that he could be impacted--I do not...

    Beginnings of Metabolic Bone Disease??

    Hi, I've had my beardie for a couple of months now, and I'm pretty sure something's seriously wrong with him. He is extremely lethargic, sleeping/basking ALL day. His temperatures are fine (102-108 degrees F on basking spot, 85ish on the cool side), so I don't think that's it. He seems to...
