I'm pretty sure now that he has a REALLY bad case of MBD.
I got him 2 days ago from my mom's friend's friend..whose son got him for a birthday present (the kid is 8 )
this poor lil guy NEVER had uvb light and im sure was fed poorly. When i got him his lil 10 gallon tank was littered in pellets.
He could be around 9 months..how big are beardies suppose to be around that age?
His front and hind legs are almost stiff like..he's able to bend them when he can..but he flails around when he tries to move
The son's dad should of known to give this little guy away sooner..and should of had the common sense that SOMETHING was wrong when the poor beardie can't even walk..he's horribly thin too.
I was just looking for opinions..he is around 9 months...if i try and give him everything he needs now..the uvb bulb and the calcium dusted crickets and everything else...if there is any chance he could somehow have a happy life? I've read the effects of MVB is pretty much permanent so I'm sure he won't be able to walk right ever...but I'm thinking if he gets stronger and gets some meat on him..he can be happy?
