Okay so I bought a baby bearded dragon from Petco about 3 weeks ago now he is shaking like he's having a seizure and locking up I know it's due to either Calcium deficiency or he's not getting the proper heating or his vitamins or many other things I'm just trying to figure it out I just need to know now what do you think I got the med life Light Bulb holder and I got the med Life Light Bulb but it's the combo with a UVB and heat source I got a heating pad underneath I also bought calcium block for crickets to eat and today I noticed that he had use the restroom and it was a bright orange color but he did not eat no greens no carrots no nothing I haven't started yet but I'm about to start tomorrow what do you think I should do

Can you post a picture of your setup?

Heat pads are bad for bearded dragons because they don't sense heat on their belly's they instantly know that heat comes from above. A heat pad can burn them because they don't feel that it's too hot.

Are you dusting your feeders with calcium? Are you providing a multivitamin? I don't know what kind of light you are using but you should be using a tube 10.0 UVB bulb and a basking bulb. The basking temp should be 107 degrees fahrenheit.
