blindness

[tortoise87]

Hello I have resently bought 2 new bear dies from Petco I felt really bad for the one we named little foot because it was so emaciated I realized very quickly that he might be blind. He has really no balance he can't find the greens bowl I rub greens or baby roaches on his nose he doesn't take them he doesn't try to drink out of any water bowl or even when I give him a bath. I have to force fees which is kinda scary because I don't want to freak him out. He falls off his log and when he walks he steps very high he licks at the air as well. My others usually lick at the logs or my clothes etc. Has anyone had this problem he goes to vet on the 2nd but just don't want to stress him by having to force feed any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

How long have you had them? Are they housed together? What size enclosure? Post Pics, please of BDs & enclosure/s. How many BDs do you have?

I'm hoping I uploaded correctly so you can see the one of just him was the way he looked the day we got him and the one of him on the bottom of the log is today he's put on a little weight from last week but not much

You really need to seriously consider this article, as it may very well be a cause for the issues they are experiencing ...

Is Bearded Dragon Co-habitation a good plan?

Wow I knew they were dominate but everything before this said I should be OK defiantly getting them separated asap thanks I still think he is going to be blind from when I have him in my hands how he acts will find out on 2nd from the vet. I always planned on having them separate was just waiting on a friend to sell me his 40 gallon breeder to put him in. Thanks again for all the help.

Oh yes....you definitely want to separate them. Good luck and I hope they both will be ok.
