My beardie is named Sylvester. I got him from a family that would not keep him in good health. They asked me to take him and so I did. He's basically a rescue because he developed a moderate case of MBD while he was with them. I've had him for about 6-7 months now. From day one, I have been feeding him generous amounts of calcium on his food. He eats greens and insects pretty well. But he can't move without stepping on himself So it is really hard for him to catch his own food. I find him flipped over sometimes for who knows how long. He flips over and stays flipped because he can't move any other way than being bent. It's really sad to see him like this and it doesn't seem like he getting better. He has however been active lately. I got higher wattage basking lamps because I don't feel safer having him climb to places due to him falling over and either hurting himself or flipping himself. He has UVB and UVA lights. I handle him every day for about 30min. Any suggestions for me about how to care for Sylvester that I am doing wrong? I really wish he could get better..(he's about a year and a half)
He has been to the vet multiple times and all that the vet does is make him ingest vitamins. The vet told me to keep a high calcium diet. I'll try to upgrade to that UVB thank you for the suggestion!
