I have a 7 or 8 month old male beardie who has mbd. I got him at 2 months old and he already had it. My issue is, I've done everything I thought right, to stop the progression but it is getting worse and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Facebook groups are very mean so I chose to come here for advice. I've attached pictures of his setup. The tank is 4ft long by 18 inches high by 18 inches wide. T5 22 inch tube Arcadia 12% light. One reptile heat light, one ceramic che, and another coil uv light on opposite end of heat light side for more uv.
Hot side is 105 cool side is 76-80 middle is around 86-92. I've been doing dubia roaches, super worms, and bsfl as food, but it has been a struggle to get him to eat since day one. There are days he will eat and days he won't. He does eat greens almost everyday. As of now he hasn't ate bugs in a week. He won't touch bsfl anymore and hardly eats the dubias. I fear he's getting worse and just want to make sure I'm doing nothing wrong. I know he needs a vet but due to covid and living two hours from any worth will reptile vet, it's not something I've been able to afford yet, but have it planned with my tax money. I just want to knownif there's anything I can do in the mean time.
