ACCKKKKKKK twitching baby again!!

DogStar Jul 19, 2003 08:11 AM

This time it's the first baby who wasn't twitching when I posted here eariler. So now I am more confused, shes been getting reptocal and that acidophiliz stuff. However, she did make a glutton of herself yesterday, too much food can act as too big food??? Even her head was twitching and that just sounds so like MBD to me. The other dude who had the episode earlier is still fine today.
Any other suggestions?

bunch of undigested bugs, and now she is already acting better, so maybe that was it.

Sorry I don't know the history of the problem from before, but have you checked your basking temps? That would be the main cause of undigested food. Should be 105-110F.

the bunch of food probably lodged up her throat, pressing on nerves as a big prey would do. Personally, i would bring her to the vet in the next day or so to get some professional advice, or something. Well, good luck!

My beardie did the same thing last year while she was in the bath. She threw up a bunch of mealies and crickets. Did you feed your BD mealworms because I think thats what caused mine to throw up?(I fed her way too many in one sitting cause she kept looking at me like she was starving and I couldn't say "no more". If its the same thing that happened to "Grouchy" then she/he will be back to normal in a day or so.
