Birth defect

I got a baby bearded dragon not to long after MJ passed away I got him from spice dragons for 60$ which was just shipping I got my baby beau for free because of his defect if anyone has any information on how I could help him get stronger and better or really anything please let me know. This picture is when I very first got him I'll post more

All 4 of his legs don't work properly, I just put him in a new tank today it's smaller then my last one but this one is nicer his beard is black and gets stress marks on his belly when I get him out

Ah now I see...so can he use them better when not on slick surfaces? They are pretty adaptable. I have little to no solid knowledge on birth defects and deficiencies but I'm sure others will chime in on it. What are you feeding? Is he able to catch his food? what supplements do you give?

 

[maryjane]

crickets and silk worms he can catch his food he's fast when he needs to be he just has trouble when hes just waltzing round his tank

I didn't see the defect at first either. I would make sure that your UVB is strong and that you are dusting his crickets with calcium and a multivitamin once a week. Make sure that he doesn't climb real high so he doesn't fall and hurt himself. Maybe even give him time out of his tank to run around and build up his muscles. I'm sure that he's probably learned by now to adapt to his disability.

He's real cute...what's his name?
