twitching is often a sign of MBD or neurological problems caused from impaction. Check you UVB source and your size of food. If UVB is further than 10 inches, older than 6 mionths, or less than 18 icnhes long, MBD may be a problem. If your food is larger than needed, has tough exoskeletons, or if the food needs etra hydration, then you may have an impaction
