Hello everyone,

Just an update on Smalls.. The handy dragon. While Smalls has improved leaps and bounds since her adoption, she has a new issue and I'm not sure what to think.

Smalls is crippled do to a lack of care in her earlier years, her front right foot is kind of a club foot, all of her little bones were broken and her back legs resemble hip dyspalsia.

I noticed recently that she goes crazy trying to get out of her tank, and when i get her out she takes off to a dark corner or hides under the couch...she doesn't want to eat and her little right back leg just folds under her tummy... I've never seen this before.

She gets around like normal when she isn't in her tank, she poops regularly, all of her lights are brand new and nothing has changed in her environment.

I'm not sure what to think...:bd:

poor baby ! they typically dont poop if they dont eat. if it dont go in, it dont come out ---. i dont THINK this is anything to worry about - sometimes they just behave differently. i've also heard of beardies brumating here in the summer - as if they were in australia (where it's winter now) - maybe ???
