Questionive had a bearded dragon for a little over a year now and recently i noticed
that he isnt eating and hes dosent move much. i took him out and i noticed a
open wound on his back foot. i think the crickets started to bite him and
now the scales are gone from that area. he dosent move the back legs @ all
(even though only one is hurt). i tried hand feeding him some salads and he
dosent look like he has any teeth. what do i do im verry worried about my
friend.
thank you
mike
AnswerYou call your local vet and make an appointment!
My guess (and this is a guess as you gave me no info to work with) is that your dragon is suffering from metabolic bone disease due to lack of adequate UVB lighting. Do you have UVB lighting? If so, when were the bulbs changed last?
Also, NEVER leave prey items in the cage for more than 10 minutes, if he doesn't eat them, they will eat him.
