I have had my female beardie Stella for about 6 to 7 months and have had no problems untill this past week. I picked her up out of her tank (40 gal breeder) as i always do and started petting her back. When i got to about the bottom of the spine, more towards the right side, she flinched. So i petted her back once more...samething. Now her back is shapped like she is always looking to the right...boomerang like. I mean its not bad but i can deff. tell. She poops reg, eats reg too. But when i put dusted crix in today...she kind of dragged her back legs, her right one more so then her left one. Ive googled it and what i think it might be is MBD and i hope its not. Ive been trying to go to the vet but their always closed. Maybe i dont have her set up right?
She's in a 40 gal breeder
150 watt tight beam bulb for the day and a 75 watt infared bulb for night
I was useing walnut for bedding but i learned that it was bad for beardies so i soon switched back to sand
I have a UV light on the top that is about 5 months old that is due for changing
Or maybe the feeding?
Ive been told to dust her crix every other time i feed her crix. So i feed her about 15 crix dusted on monday, then collard greens tuesday. Then non-dusted crix on wed.,then collard greens on thursday, dusted crix on fri..etc.
Im sorry if there is already a post on this and im sorry for such a long post...but im really worried about her and have grown very fond of her.
Thanks for the help =]
