Beardy Problem

timmah Jun 28, 2009 11:17 AM

I have had my baby beardy for about 2 months now and in the last few days he has developed these huge knots in the joints of his front and back legs. All the husbandry is correct, but i think hes going to die, he can barley even move his legs.

any ideas?

I certainly think a vet visit is very important at this point.

My opinion is that there is a husbandry problem causing it. You should list temps.(hot, cool basking), UVB (type and distance), food (what and how often), calcium (type and frequency), vitamins (type and frequency), enclosure size, when it last ate, when the last bowel movement was, and anything else you can think of.

Could be MBD, could be a reaction to something, tough to guess with no info.

A picture would also be helpful.
