Hi Emmy, sorry to hear this ! Please do post the video. Also post pics of the set up and list the exact type/brand of bulbs you're using. Superworms can't be fed to a baby like we do with an adult, they can cause impaction and that causes pressure on the spine that can lead to hind limb paralysis. It's usually compounded by weak or no uvb and lack of calcium supplementation. Do you use calcium powder ? Try to answer all these Q's [ including lighting ] and that can help us to help your beardie.

Hello,

Oh dear, that is not good news! Your baby is most likely impacted from the worms.
Please answer the tank setup question for us, & if possible post the pictures & video
for us also.
Keep him warm tonight, around 80 in the tank to help boost his system.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
