Why are my Bearded's extremities trembling?
This morning my Bearded dragon he was fine i cleaned his cage and put crickets in for him to eat. He did not seem interested so i put some meal worms in. I put the habitat back together and later this afternoon i noticed he was shaking. He is only a baby prob. 3 months and I'm really worried. we are snowed in and no vet's/pet stores are open. All his extremities are trembling Shellie
It is suffering from Vitamin deficiency. Something has been lacking in its diet. Call your local pet store or vet. A reptile vet can give it a hot that will temporarily help, but you've got to get it a better diet
Can you explain your set up? Do you have UVB lighting? If so, how old is it? What is the basking temp? What foods are fed most often in the diet? Do you use calcium supplementation? If so, how often?

Twitching/trembling extremities are a symptom of MBD (metabolic bone disease) or low very low potassium. Your set up explanation will help to determine which is more likely and how to go about treating the bearded.
