Wanted to post an update as I was on this forum constantly when I first got my little guy, he was severely malnourished and as a result had MBD. He couldn't walk at all and had trouble eating. With no previous beardie experience you guys were lifesavers!

Just posting to say he is doing extremely well! After a month and a half he's not only walking but up and running, and this past week has finally started eating on his own and been able to come off his oral calcium supplement! He's gaining weight but maintains a hunchback-esque deformity that I doubt he'll ever lose. It gives him character :)

Here's a before and after picture for comparison (before was sent by previous owners, after is right before feeding this afternoon)

In short, thank you all so much for your help!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
