Hi im a newbie to bearded dragons we got him from a shop 3 days ago he hasnt ate anything since we got him he suddenly sort of tries to roll over when he walks its like when he puts his front leg down his front end rolls and he swings his head about and bangs it of his hide. The bloke in shop said he about 2 month old my wife in tears she worried sick can anyone help.

aww. poor baby. A pic would help. What UVB does it have? Calcium? Sounds like MBD or impaction. Is it on sand? Hope we can get your little one better!

Its a repri sun 10.0 and the shop gave us calcium plus d3 but he hasnt ate nothing and he on small wood chipping becouse Iread loads of bad things about sand.

Wood chips are a no-no, too. You don't want any loose substrate. Paper towels for babies and tile or carpet for adults. Not eating right away is normal, but obviously the rolling is not. Did they give you any history with the beardie?

is it the coil or tube reptisun 10.0? THere's a big difference between the 2. Agree! Wood chips can also be swallowed and can cause problems. Tile, reptile carpet, or paper towels are best.

What type of wood are the wood chips?

Hello,

Poor guy! It could be a neurological issue, a bacterial infection, adeno virus, or hypocalcemia.
Most likely he did not have any UVB or calcium at the pet store, either. At the young age, he needs UVB & calcium for health & growth.
Do you have any pictures of him?
Is the Reptisun 10 a tube bulb also?
