Stress and what to do?

[iamgenosperson]

Ok he may be if the temps dropped? How old is his UV? U may have had a defected bulb and he has MBD. Happened to mine. Sorry.

What are some signs of mbd? I just replaced it but it was old almost a year old.

 

[iamgenosperson]

Signs:
Lack of muscle & joint movement
Sleeping throughout the day
Not eating
Weight loss
Raised bumps
Slow moving
Tucking under of hands, feet, etc. ( like if you were to take your hand and bend it towards your wrist)

If its a year old theres a high chance of MBD. Are you with a vet? I suggest going ASAP if you are. But if u think about it- it can be a whole bunch of things!

 

[Spiketheleucistic]

Ok now I'm really worried

 

[iamgenosperson]

Did he have any of the signs besides not eating and lack of movement

 

[Spiketheleucistic]

Sleeping through the day, low joint movement, and I think I have seen him fold his hand under his arm

 

[iamgenosperson]

Watch him for about a day and see if he changed. Did u force feed yet

 

[Spiketheleucistic]

I'm not at home right now but as soon as I get home I will try. The only thing I got him to eat was some baby Dubia a neighbor gave me last week. He are 3 or 4 of them but they were not big enough to give him anything nutritional.

 

[iamgenosperson]

Ok please take it easy- everything will be fine. Try giving him some silk worms- hell gobble em up

 

[Spiketheleucistic]

Ok. The reason got the Dubia was to start a colony.

 

[iamgenosperson]

Every little bit is good though! If u have more- feed them to him- if he eats them give 1 more each day- than add 1 cricket

 

[Spiketheleucistic]

Yeah, but he still won't even look at crickets

 

[iamgenosperson]

After a couple days put about 3 in their and don't offer anything. He will get hungry enough to look for food and eat them. Unless its been 2 weeks- than take the crickets out and offer different food. He may be bored with crickets

 

[Spiketheleucistic]

We have given him some baby food which he eats enthusiastically. I am worried about him because I have seen him with a leg tucked under his body several times now. Could it be that he has mbd and it is just a coincidence that it started at the same time as we moved him?

 

[iamgenosperson]

It could have developed over time. Honestly, if hes eating the baby food, thats great. Do u have a vet? I suggest making an appointment ASAP and if hes eatimg the baby food, take your crickets, buy a baby bullet, and put fresh fruits and veggies and crickets. This way, the beardie is getting his essential waters, vitamins, minerals, and protein. Take a superworm or 2 ( large) and purify that 2 times a week in place of the crickets. This way, hes getting the healthy fat for him. Is he defecating? How is it if he is?
