  1. Give him this once a week sprinkled on his food {crickets/veggie, greens ect} http://www.fishfurfeather.com/images/tet...


  2. What kind of UVB bulb do you have,the only ones that is good is the reptaglow 8.0 or reptasun 10. tubes,all s***w ins are bad and causes lots of problems and make sure you are dusting with D3 once a week and calcium with out D3 ever day and make sure his hot and cool side are right 110-115 basking for baby's,95-100 hot side and 80-85 cool side and you really need the UVB tubes for him/her to make sure he/she is getting the right amount of UVB.Hope I helped and good luck.

  3. He has a calcium deficiency. Without adequate calcium and vitamin D3 in your Dragon's diet, aside from a slow growth rate, you will more than likely encounter Metabolic Bone Disease. The first symptom usually noticed is uncontrolled twitching of the dragon’s toes or legs. This can be a fatal disease if not treated promptly. Raise the amount of calcium in the Dragons diet immediately and take it outside in direct sunlight to bask for a period of time each day until the twitching stops. If there is no change in a few days, consider veterinary care as an option.

    When you feed him, sprinkle a vitamin powder with D3 over his food.

  4. Bearded dragons need UVA and UVB lighting.  It is important to have both types of lights for them to remain healthy or you will start to see problems.  Also make sure they have a proper diet.

  5. turn the UVA light off at night, i think it is overheated, otherwise take it to the vet GO BABY P! I have a dragon named patriot.
