I have two dragons that have MBD, one I purchased with his sister (from the same clutch) who has no problems (the sister), he has almost NO use of his back legs. They are both fed and given the same vitamins/ supplements, etc. What could cause the difference in the two beardies? My major concern is for the brother as he is very bad with his legs, any information would be greatly appreciated.
I have another that was a rescue locally, he is in very bad physical shape (looks wise, does not affect his eating or breeding habits). Adding calcium to his diet is helping and no other defects have been found.
I have a small female that was purchased from a local pet store one year ago, she is almost the same size as when we bought her, she has a problem with her eyes, she doesn't open them very ofter and they look somewhat swollen when they are closed.
All dragons eat greens, crickets, and mealies some fruits dusted with miner-all and they also get the repcal pellets occasionally. They all have high power UVB/UVA heat bulbs in the enclosures.
Again, any help would be appreciated, we would like to know how to help the first male and the little female, as they seem to be in more of a need, our rescued male has a snub jaw.nose area and a dent in his back, but he eats like a pig and seems to have a good disposition.
Thank you.
