hi all i have a beardie who is a few weeks old that has lost most of his back legs. anyone have any experience raising an animal like this into adult hood?. all i can think of is making him one of them little cart things.hes a real little battler despite his disability and is actually one of the biggest and most active in the clutch. |

|  | instant karma Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-07 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 24 | | | It's a shame but at least next time you will know to house them seperately! For such cute critters they can be real canabalistic..I have a friend who was given a beardy recently with no legs  it's about 5 i think and it has no problems eating and moving. Just see how the little tike goes they seem to adapt to their disability very quickly good luck with him

If it is at the knee there is a good chance he will get used to using his stumps as legs,.
Im no expert by all means, but I recently had 1 chomp on the other ones foot and we had to get it chopped off,.
It has only been a couple of weeks and s/he already gets around like the others with no hassles,.
So maybe see how it goes,. if you think it is suffering or struggling to much you might have to take Jasons advice,.
But if it was me I would wait & see how it goes,. 
who doesnt know a beardie with a leg missing?
It would be good if you could borrow a camera and get some pics.,.
Good luck & Keep us posted
