bjacksy":6kmjh3jf said:My bearded dragon Delta, is doing the same. One night she slept with her arm back, and the next morning she was limping. She still is. She won’t eat either, but I think it is because she is shedding. I read on another issue on this forum that it can be caused because of impaction and I am hoping that’s not it. But I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions for me? Your help would be amazing, thanks!

Any chance he's fallen off something and landed awkwardly on the sore leg/arm ? …. wont need to be much of a fall.
Or maybe snagged a nail on something and injured the limb trying pull free ?
Review the lighting, and set up and put up photos else we are only guessing.

sorry about the poop, and yes I need to change the greens
bjacksy":gm0qf8o6 said:Well, this stinks. I have a question, do you think that it could be from her shedding? My mom thinks that because she is shedding, they become very lethargic and can stop being them selves. Any idea why she could not be using her back legs all the sudden now? This is what happened. I saw her before I went to bed, and she was laying with her arm backwards and the next morning she couldn’t be use it. She was limping. So I gave her a day or two, and now her back legs are starting To become a little stiff. I’m very worried about her and I’ve never had luck with these little critters. I will remove the hammock and hope for the best. We can’t take her to the vet cause we had To take our ferret there the other day, so I’m afraid we can’t. Is there by any chance that you think we could stick the uvb bulb inside the tank and hope that gets her strength back? Sorry for so much. Any help is welcome.
