wHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN..............

[lizardfreak08]

What does it mean when a beardy walks on its wrists somtimes? My Brinx does that and i think its cute because he looks like a mini gorrila.

Walking on his wrists could very well be a sign of metabolic bone disease. How old is Brinx? Can you fill us in on the brand & type of UVB you're using, how far away the bulb is from him and how old the bulb is? Also, how often are you dusting his food with calcium with D3?

I agree with the first poster about this. I was sat in my vet's the other day and a little beardie was brought in with the same problem as yours and I believe it to be possibly a metabolic bone problem. Get them to a vet as it does need checking out. Let us know how you get on and best wishes
