So I've had Bahamut for about a month, and I'd guess he was only a few weeks old when I got him. He's never been the most active guy but he always wanted to eat, and he didn't have the problems I'm about to describe until about 4 days ago.
1. Very lethargic, won't hold up his head
2. Not interested in his salad or his crickets
3. Dragging around his back right leg like it doesn't work
Now, I've had him to the vet, and he HAS been pooping, especially when I give him baths (which I've been doing daily since this problem started). His fecal sample came back negative for parasites, and he was given a shot of B at the vet to help with possible deficiency. The vet also recommended a new lighting setup, which two days ago I set up, which includes a 10.0 UVB/UVA mercury vapor flourescent tube. He also has an under-tank heater and a basking lamp, and his basking area reaches 110 degrees F. I also have been dusting his crickets daily with calcium and D3, though I was using a bad multi-vitamin that was basically just more calcium, so I have switched since seeing the vet to one that has B and Beta Carotene (though he hasn't gotten much of it since he won't eat).
The last time he ate a good amount was right before the vet, where he had about 10 crickets. He also had a HUGE meal right before this all happened, which led me to believe he had some impaction, but if that is the case, I'm not sure why he is pooping almost every day.
His subtrate is astroturf so there is no sand or anything for him to ingest. Please help if you can, I don't want to lose my little guy!
