Answer 2

Are you giving your beardy greens and calcium. Does it have uvb.. ??? Are you misting the tank. sometimes when they are small only lick water droplets.. Is his tank warm enough.. I would get a dis and soak him so he can gather water through his skin to ensure he is not deydrated.. Is he eating. they are very fragil at a month old and every little thing matters.. Is he warm enough?? Sounds like he is not strong enough. maybe from lack of food or deydration..

Answer 3

hi there
first of all .. it's too young to have mbd ....or show any signs of mbd...
it sounds to me that he is impacted!!!
what kind of substrate u have for ur baby beardie? babies should not have any loose substrate in their enclosure... it should be non particle substrate till at lease 6 months but as well adults still can get impacted...
another thing what kind of food and what size of food are u feeding it? food size should be no bigger then between it's eyes and no longer the from eyes to nose ....never feed meal worms to babies the hard exoskeleton is too hard to digest and will impact them as well...here's a website on impaction and how to deal with it ..... we use this on some rescues works great...

Answer 4

Yup, sounds like an impaction problem. Be very careful with size of food, as said above, no bigger than space between eyes, no mealies, and no loose substrate. Warm water soaks are needed, and you may need the help of an experienced herp vet.

What kind of lighting do you have on him? Reptiles like lizzards need uv lighting other wise they can form a dicease that cripples their bones and eventually kills them. Make sure you have adequate heating...here is a good reptile forum that you can go to that will help you with everything you need herpinverts.com and tell them that katie lady sent you. if you have any questions abotu navigating on there you can email me =)

Answer 6

It sounds like he could have deficiency in his bones, possibly from improper lighting (UV) What have you been feeding him? They need calcium dust on their crickets and also need fruits and veggies in their diet. You should take him to a herp vet before it gets any worse.
