I could see something is not right with Roger, our baby beardie. We have him now almost a week, bought him with his enclosure from a local petshop. His enclosure was a mess, there was incorrect substrate, mould underneath,, no UV light and huge crickets in the cage. Ì cleaned and washed the cage, changed the substrate and put in a astroturf sheet and immediatly connected a decent 10.0 UV. He refused to eat and stuggled to move around. I took him to the vet today and the vet confirmed that he has early stage mbd. It only affected his front left leg and his jaw. He is now on syringe feed with baby butternut and liquified crics, together with a multi vitamine. Vet said I caught it early so he is happy with him and that he will grow to be a happy dragon. Vet also said that he is coler to 3 months than the 6 months the petshop told me.
We will syringe feed him for a couple of days until his natural eating has established.
