Okay so this is new.... We got Norbert a couple of months ago and ever since, he has had tail rot and swollen feet (I suspect gout), and now he seems to have another issue. We are giving him adequate lighting, but he walks unnaturally, as if his feet either hurt or can't move properly. MBD wouldn't make much sense, seeing that his lighting and supplements are what he needs. His ankles are swollen, which might be what it is. Anyways, when I turn off his lights for him to go to sleep, I go downstairs, eat dinner, go upstairs, and somehow he's at the bottom of his cage flipped on his back with an angry dragon beard. I'm not sure if this has happened to any of you before, but I honestly feel very, very bad for him. I'm not sure what's causing him to not be able to flip back on his stomach, mostly because I've seen him do it before. I've moved his hammocks in a way that would keep him from flipping on his back, but it still happens. This might be normal and I'm overreacting, but its just so sad because it happens on a regular basis right before bedtime, and he always seems in distress when it happens. Any information would help.
