I feel like a really bad beardie owner,the worst.
I will start from the begining. I am 16 and have wanted a beardie for the longest time.I researched everything,built my own terrarium,bought lamps,evrything. When i got my beardie (july 20 2021) all was great,he was eating,being active.Then things went downhill.He stopped eating completly,so after a week of not eating i started force feeding (still am to this day).He kind of got better after that. Now,he can't use his legs,he has feeling in them (flinches when you touch his toes) but when he tries to move they go up and above his tail.Front ones kind of work,but most of the time lay flat along his body.To top it off he is 6 inches.He eats 2 dubias and every next one he spits out.I don't know what to do.First month he was on 10% uvb arcadia t8 and a 50w bulb,but when his feet started not working i upgraded to 12% +D3 uvb. I offer dubias and worms regularly but he just watches them,no intrest at all.They are dusted with calcium powder five days a week. His tank size is 100cm×50×50cm and he doesn't have any stress marks at all.Please help,i feel like crying and there are no reptile vets in my country (i don't live in the US)
