Hi, I haven't been on here in a while but I'm pretty concerned about my dragon..
Okay, Tango is about 4. He was doing really well up until about 2 years ago. He stopped eating live food. Would not eat anything other than veggies. So, I just made sure I fed him regular. Well, up until about 3 months ago he stopped being active and would only come out to eat about once a week. I'd still wake him to give him a bath and sometimes would let him just sleep wrapped in a towl. I thought it was brumation but wasn't sure. He hasn't had a bowl movement in about a week but I thoguht that was because he hasnt ate. Our only herp vet around is absolutly HORRIBLE. I REALLY don't want to take him there. The last time I took my other beardie there it resulted in death.
So, today I was determined to get him to eat so I went to petco and got some super worms and decided to try to get him to eat live again. I brought him home and as soon as I put one down he started eating and ate about 25. I didn't know if I should go on and feed him whatever he would eat or what. After I fed him he started breathing really hard and puffing air out of his month. Then he went to bask and I noticed his left back leg was twitching. I'm super worried I'm ordering another ReptiSun light tonight since his is about 6 months old and I just changed out his basking light. Any suggestions on what this might be. Do you think it's MBD and if so what can I do to help?
