    They do need more than insects. People that do feed bugs dust them, but also feed a complete diet like repashy, pangea, etc.

    Do his legs look bent?
    A couple MBD links that might help. http://www.moonvalleyreptiles.com/cr...ne-disease-mbd

    General Crestie health disorders link

    If you are working at a store that is a chain, most of them have "care guides" that the stores must follow for their animals. I believe both petco and petsmart are required to feed their crested prepared diet (not sure on bugs).

    Crested Not Sticking

    He doesn't appear to be bent in any way in my opinion. His legs, or his back. But I haven't paid much attention to how he is shaped.
    Unfortunately, I have chickenpox and am unable to go to school, so no co-op for me. I can't check him out. Plus I'm done for three weeks or so after Tuesday, anyways.
    I don't even know what to call my placement, its main purpose is breeding feeder insects and rodents, they order in some reptiles and sell them to pet shops/people. So I'm not sure they even have any sort of guideline for feeding, I certainly haven't been told about it, and I've been there since September.
    I'm not sure if he's even eating, honestly, I put some crickets in (and occasionally some waxworms, they're okay?) and they always seem to just die. I mean, he has to be eating because he wouldn't be alive right now (though he is rather thin).


    Sorry, I didn't see your post until now! I'll check out the links.
