Hey everyone, so I got my beardie around mid December. I suspect he was around 1.5 months old when I got him. Since day 1 he has been hard to feed. He refused to eat dusted crickets, so I have been feeding him BSFL as iv read lots that they have enough calcium that they don't need to be dusted. The problem is, he will eat them but not very much. If I were to do the 2-3 feeding of 15 min he would eat like 6 total. I literally have to try and get him to eat every hour all day, and he will eat maybe 2-3 each hour, which I know is still not enough. I do leave some of the BSFL in a dish in his tank, but he almost never eats from there. I do give him salad and he nibbles on that through out the day. I live in Canada so roaches are out of the question.
He dosent seem to be putting on a lot of weight, and now I think he is showing signs of MBD. He seems very clumsy when moving, he walks on the back of his front wrists. He will sit on bum with his back legs straight pointing toward his head. I don't have a reptile vet anywhere near my town so I can't get it confirmed that it's MBD, but I had a previous beardie for 10 years and never seen him move or behave lile this.
I feel so bad for this poor little guy and just want the best for him but I'm not sure what to do. Like I said, Iv raised a beardie before, I know the proper tank setup and Temps, they are all correct for his age. Any helo would be appreciated.
