For a nickname of "Speech", thats an interesting paragraph!

Sometimes Blueys look like they have a big dip in their torso to their tail. Often from climbing glass and falling backwards or leaning up against it.

He should be fine mate, if you notice its causing him troubles then take him to the vet.

if your scared he might hurt himself you can always try puting paper on the sides of the tank that might stop him from thinking the walls are invisble
but Il've never tryed this myself, you may aswell give it a go.

Mate without seeing him it's difficult to say but it sounds as though your bluey might be developing metabolic bone disease. I would recommend plenty of calcium suppliment (every feed for a while) and taking him out into the sun every day for about 15 minutes (longer if you can). They often develop this hump and depression from the behaviour that puglsy described when they're suffering from MBD and their bones are too weak to cope...

no worries i will try it and let u no how it goes in a couple of days thankyou heaps

[speech]

yer with the calcium and sun ive been told of that of a couple of mates thats wat i thought it could be but just didnt make sense how one day is normal and next has the lump but i am doing that every day now so we can just wait and see thanks for the helpcheers mate
