Alfie is 3 and a half months old, and is my first ever beardie I love him to pieces and he's so lovely Problem is everything's new to me and because i wanna make sure he's happy and healthy, i worry a lot.
Problem is Alfie's stomach bloats considerably at times and i'm not sure why. I heard that a calcium deficiency can cause bloating, and i know for a fact that the UV light in the vivarium is the wrong thing to use (for anyone who's wondering yes its the reptiglo), and am replacing that this coming weekend (i also think the light may be a reason for his recurring distinctive stress marks).
Alfie has no problem going to the toilet, and goes normally twice a day. His stomach is typically bigger once he's eaten, but can still stay the same size even after he's poo'd. i just want to make sure he's ok. In the first picture Alfie's stomach looks considerably large... and this is just after eating and pooing. The fact he's leaning make it looks worse but its still pretty big nevertheless. The second to me looks pretty normal. I've also included a picture of his vivarium if anyone's interested. Bless him, he hates the camera so he looks pretty grumpy
Would appreciate any help anyone can give me
Thank you, Michaela x
