Thanks. I had my problems with Harley my beardie. She kind of quit using one of her back legs this sunday so i took her into my vet on tuesday. The vet did 3 xrays, a blood panel, and consultation with a reptile xray specialist as she couldnt see anything other than maybe light arthritis in Harleys leg. She isnt impacted, doesnt have eggs, her lungs look good and clear, no broken bones. Just a whole lot of fat on her lower area. This ran me $400. But the bottom line is pretty much Harley is WAY overweight. A normal beardie her size should weigh about 400 grams. She weighed in at 718 grams and that was completely empty. The vet kept telling me she was overweight on all her checkups but now the vet said 'NO MORE BEARDIE CANDY!!' in the form of butterworms which she LOVES. I cave for her when she jumps off her hammock and charges to me and stares up at me when i get the tub out lol. The vet said she can eat her dubias, silkworms and hornworms but i need to supplement her with more veggies and fruits which she never was a fan for even as a 6 week old baby when i got her.
