[stacy5150]

My leo is 2 and a half months old and she has been doing great, a day ago when i went to go and feed her she was not out like she usually is at that time looking for me. So i picked up her hide and when she went to move her front legs looked like they were giving out on her almost like she had lost her strength and was kinda falling on her throat of course she would not eat so i sprayed her peet moss with water and she went back under her hide. Today its worse im scared she is going to die has anyone ever had this happen and of course she would not eat tonight either. Please help. stacy

I have had a few leo's but i have never seen/heard anything about this i thought it might be metabolic bone disease, but the dust your using covers that. You have the temps good. I would say call a vet as soon as possible and get the little guy seen. Sorry i couldn't help more.
