PLEASE HELP!

[ashleyfraser]

My baby bearded dragon who is about 1 month old or so is leaning its head to one side and just sitting around all day because it cant walk well due to his head.
Its been like this for two days now and I'm starting to become extremly worried.
He has not been dropped or anything of that sort...
Please help?

Hi,

How long have you had him? Has he been eating well? What has he been eating? Has he been pooing? If so, how does it look? (I know, strange question but ALOT can be learned from this)

Can you tell me about his home? What kind of lighting? Do you use UVB? If so, what type and brand? (what kind of bulb) Is there a basking area? If so, what are the temperatures on the cool side and the basking area? How are you measuring these temperatures?

Is he bathed at all?

Let me know, and I'll try to help!

HUGS

I'm very sad to say Spyro died this morning...
='[


But we had him for about two weeks, he was eating pretty well a few mini crickets and some small cut up lettuce everyday and he usually pooped everday aswell.
Small little brownish cilinder like shaped, and with little white parts. (which i know is normal)


He was in a 10 gallon tank or so, by himself with uvb im not sure what type, the people at the petstore recomeneded all the lights we bought for him, and we had also used them for the older beardie we took care of for awhile.
i think the babys might not have been as strong though.
As for temperture my mom handled that so im not sure what they were but we used those little stick on things for the side of the tank.

we hadnt bathed him yet, but he would go into his waterdish often.

I'm very sorry that your little Spyro passed away.

Thanks..
I wish I knew why it happened.
But he seemed like he was in pain or something so its for the best I assume.
And today I got two new little babys hopefully these ones will be okay.

Im so sorry your baby passed. Let us know what uv lighting you are using and get some digital probe thermometers, the stick on ones do not ready the temp correctly.

a coil bulb? I dont know if it could have been the problem or not, but those are not good bulbs. Try and get a reptiSUN 10.0
