Hello, I have noticed recently that my beardie has begun to walk a bit wobbly and was concerned he may have arthritis or some other issue. He mostly seems to have trouble with the left front leg and I can feel slight swelling on that shoulder. He is still eager to walk around and I have been giving him warm baths around once a week which seems to help a little. Any help would be appreciated. I attached a short video of him walking if that helps.
He needs bugs 2-3 times per week w/ calcium D 3 dusted on the insects-- the T 8 needs to be inside the tank approx 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor - please replace the bulb now and I recommend a reptisun brand- how big is the tank? He looks under weight- please feed fresh greens collards turnip kale or mustard every day

Thank you for your reply, his tank is 18”Wx48”Lx21”H. I will order a new UVB today and increase feeding frequency with the greens. Thanks for the help.

Definitely go ahead & upgrade to a T5 tube bulb, either the Reptisun 10 or the Arcadia D3 12%
because the UVB exposure is so much stronger for him. Since he is a little older, he may just be
needing a good boost for his system.
You could probably consider getting him started on some liquid calcium also, to help him out in
case he isn't absorbing his calcium adequately enough.
