Have you been in touch with the seller and discussed it with him/her?

|  | QUEEN B Subscriber | Join Date: May-07 Location: Brisbane Age/Gender: 23  | | | | ~ how old are they?
~ what type of UV bulb are you using, and how close can they get to it?
~ what sort of insects and veges do you feed them, and how often?
~ what type of calcium supplement are you using, and how frequently?
~ are they all housed together, and if so - do they all eat when you feed them?
~ what is the temperature of the basking spot, and how many hours of heat do they get per day?
Sounds like hypocalcaemia, based on those symptoms you have described.

| | QUEEN B Subscriber | Join Date: May-07 Location: Brisbane Age/Gender: 23 | | | | A heat rock at 28 degrees is nowhere near sufficient for baby beardies, in fact it's no good for any beardie - regardless of age. You need a basking lamp and temps of around 35 to 40 degrees.
Also, you say the temp would be "about 28 degrees" - have you actually measured it?
Do they eat any greens, fruit or veges?
