Need help with mbd please!

[RayR]

So I bought 2 bearded dragons for my kids the guy said the are about 1 year old. I almost didnt buy them of the 20 something year old because I knew they look bad but was scared they would die... They each have bump on the start of the tail that He says they had since he got them but I have no way of knowing it that is true? He said he was only feeding them crickets once every day or 2 and fruits and veggies daily. With that stated n reading up on them I think they have mbd??? So I am wanting to know what else I can do for them because i can not get them into a vet for 2 weeks, which was the soonest anyone could see them. So in the 4 days I have had them they are much more active now n pooping regularly since I got them. I have been feeding them mostly crickets 20 per bearded dragon, but also 10 roaches, n 10 wax worms (I know they should not have them that often but trying to fatten them up) they get these servings 2-3 times a day. Also twice a day they get some type of mix of kale, green beans, green bean leafs, carrots, sweet potatoes, and celery. Strawberries n grapes once every other day. All food has high calcium multi vitamin and d3 added. What else can I do or should I not be doing? I read baby food can be good but not sure what exactly to get or how to give it them? I know if males they should not be housed together but I am pretty sure one is female and will have them sexed when we go to the vet. Thank you in advance for the help!

I would reccomend separating them no matter the sexes. Great job with the calcium supplement. If they are eating on their own you should not need to give them baby food.

i’d suggest getting them to a vet asap and separating them. what kind of lighting do you have for them?
