beardie wont eat and has MBD

[Drache613]

Hello,

If you are using a zoomed light, then if it's a mercury vapor bulb it would be the Powersun.
How close to him is it & is it a 100 watt or 160 watt?
Brumation "can" cause the slowdown, but, in his case right now, I really don't recommend
letting him brumate much due to his calcium deficiency. He needs to get his body caught
up on calcium stores & recover right now. A normal, healthy dragon can go weeks or months
in the wild, without much of anything to eat because their metabolisms are so slown down.
Since he isn't 100%, I don't think you should let him go without food or fluids right now. If he
wants to be lazy some & rest that's fine but he does need his UVB, calcium & food right now.
So you will need to be sure that he gets his basking & UVB in daily.
How is he doing today?

Hello,

I am so sorry to hear that Leo didn't make it. I know it's an awful feeling & very hard to
get over or deal with. At least he wasn't alone & is not in pain anymore. I think that he was just
too far gone.
My sincere condolences for you.

thank you for your condolences and apology, it means a lot to me and my family. Leo is resting in a better place now, i’m gonna miss him a ton but i’ll know he’s doing better wherever he is i’m going to deactivate this account now, thank you for your sincere advice, may you have all the good this world has to offer (and also to your beardie(s) if you have any).

Hello,

I hope that you will stay around, learn & meet other reptile lovers like yourself. You never
know when you will have another dragon come into your life.
