Hello, I am sure my beardie has MBD due to sudden loss of appetite, lethargy, 1 overly curled toe, dragging of the back legs (only sometimes, can use them if he has to), and I can feel boney bumps on his belly when i hold him. He is 6 months old.
My basking temp is at ~35-40 degrees Celsius.
10.0 Reptiglo UVB.
As it is winter i am running my ceramic heat lamp at night as well.
I have, as of yesterday, started giving him Jump Start (calcium, d3 + others).
He WILL NOT eat anything apart from the gel which I have to force feed him. He has not eaten anything for 4 days.
If he does not eat in the next 2 days I plan on taking him to the vet.
I just want to know if I am taking the correct steps to stop the disease and get him eating again, and at which point is a VET needed?
Thankyou!
