So I have noticed a few times in the past few weeks that when I put my beardie in the bath, he would raise 1 or 2 legs in the air and kind of shake them. At first I just figured that this was maybe too hot of water as sometimes we do when getting into something a tad bit warmer than we like. Also in the bath, after pooping, his legs will be paralyzed for a brief moment after passing the poop. But today as I was feeding him, at one point after chasing crickets he just stopped, and started doing this with 1 front and 1 back leg, and it got me quite nervous.
He would just lift it up, bend it backwards a bit and start twitching them around. I have read and it seems this is either early signs of impaction or MBD.
He has bowel movements every day, so I dont know how it would be impaction, however I also have a 10.0 reptisun flo. tube that I baught in sept(so not 6 months yet) and dust his crickets with calcium w/ d3 5x a week.
He is on shelf liner, basking spot @ 95-110 and is about 6ish months old. Ive had him since september.
Is there anything I can do to try and fix this? As much as I like him, I dont know if I can afford the vet bills since the closest place to me w/ a herp vet is apparently a scam artist and overprices everything MASSIVELY and dont know what I have done wrong to cause this... Never had sand, made sure to feed apropriate sized crickets, followed everything... sad times. And I dont want him to suffer
What should I do people of the forum. I need help!!
