Hi,
We have 2 small beardies, they are about 3 months old and we bought them when they were about 3 weeks old. The one we are having a problem with came from an uncle bills pet shop and we have pretty much had trouble with her from the start.
They have good light, good food, dusted crickets gut loaded and even though they are young they are partaking in some greens already. I also take them outside so they get natural sunlight. They lay on my chest and get probably 5 hours of natural a week.
However, my baby girl, continuously shows signs of MBD. Im writing to find out if it could possibly be something else because I cant see how she could have a deficiency when we take such good care of her. BTW our other beardie is fat and healthy.
Her limbs, front and back will shake, her tail, her whole body trembles. She has had one seizure.
In addition to the seizure, if she lifts a leg or arm in an odd position it will lock up like shes having a charlie horse and shake. It last for about 10 seconds and then it will subside. Or her leg will .. hard to explain, but move in a way like shes scratching with her hind leg but she has no control over it and it is very fast.
Now heres the kicker, this only happens when its time for her to shed.
The rest of the time she seems to be healthy as a horse.
Plz help, shes shedding now and the trembling is horrible. Im heartbroken at the sight of her discomfort : (
