I have recently inherited an 8 month old Beardie. When he walks his front feet bend and curl underneath him. His previous enclosure did not have any UVB light. The enclosure he is in now has a mercury bulb and I have been giving him Calcium dusted crickets 3 times week. This is my first bearded dragon. Is there anything I can do to help with his feet?

I would have gotten a UVB tube bulb that covers more of the tank with UVB. Keep dusting his crickets with calcium. I would use calcium with D3 for a few months. Also make sure you are using a multivitamin. A vet visit would be good too to have his calcium levels checked. The vet may even give a shot of calcium just to jump start his healing. These steps won't repair the damage already done but it will prevent further damage from happening.
