Hi everyone! I posted in the Beardie ER forum 2 days ago about my 6 month old beardie with MBD, I saved him from Petco and am trying to give him the best life he can have and hopefully get him as healthy and normal as he can be having such severe MBD. I got some great suggestions off of the Beardie ER forum and put those to good use, so I wanted to give an update on my lil guy Bean.
We went to the vet yesterday and it went well, he's been getting calcium injections every 8 hours and I'm still dusting his food with calcium w/ d3. I took advice from some people on the Beardie ER and redid his tank so that it could be perfect for him and this is what I've done:
I raised the floor of his tank to get him 6 inches away from the UVB and heat lamp. He's so tiny I prefer not to put any raised basking areas for him because I'm worried he'll fall off.
I cut out a rectangle shaped piece of mesh on my tank hood so that there was absolutely nothing blocking the UVB and I switched my bulb to the Reptisun 10.0 UVB.
and of course, here's the lil guy himself. He is such a cutie and I am absolutely obsessed with him haha he's my littlest baby and I couldn't be happier that I brought him home with me
So yeah, just wanted to update this for anyone who saw my other forum and if y'all have any more suggestions of what to do for baby Bean, I am all ears!! Thanks everyone who helped me out
