I have a new beardie named Æg (pronounced the same as egg) that I bought two days ago from a pet-store that did not have the best conditions, to put it nicely. Her forelimbs are a little messed up and she's not able to walk normally. She rests on the outsides of her hands and tends to swing them up towards her face when she walks.
As she's not able to really grip anything, she has trouble climbing up surfaces and an especially difficult time getting down them. We've fashioned a ramp out of two halves of bamboo and hot-glue (in strips as traction) that double as a hide spot, but getting down is still tricky. Her basking spot is made up of two bricks, one slightly higher than the other, and she's on soft coconut fiber substrate.
She has a good temperament, loves to be held, and eats very well, but I'm still nervous that she's in pain or that she may fall and hurt herself. Are there any other precautions I could take in her habitat? Am I being a worry-wart?
