Metabolic bone disease bearded dragon

- A 5 year old bearded dragon we took in today with a very severe case of MBD. This is a perfect example of why you should always do research before obtaining a pet to ensure you know ho to properly care for them.
My husband and I rescued a beardie from craigslist. He had MBD and was to the point that he was only scooting across the tank. He had to be hand fed for months. The previous owner never had a uvb light on him and was feeding him kale, iceberg lettuce, and cucumbers. After about 6 months of nursing him back to health he jumped up and chased after a cricket on all 4s. He was supporting all his weight and had so much energy. Today he is happy healthy and has such an amazing personality that I cannot imagine not having adopted him. Knowing this would have been his fate makes me tear up. How could anyone hurt such beautiful animals. I agree with the comment of euthanizing the owner too. shame on them... :*( When I saw him walking around his tank for the first time, I swear, I nearly cried.
That's awesome you were able to get your little guy back up on his feet, quite literally. I can't even imagine my own little girl not being able to move on her own. She LOVES running around the house and climbing over things. I couldn't bear it if she were reduced to this state of... existing. Especially if I were the cause of it. And yes, even though I let her roam around the house (or just spending time nestled on me... both of which are pretty much every day), I make sure she gets her basking time in her tank during the day and evening. UVB is a must. That's like, Dragon Owning 101.
.
Im currently going through the same thing.
Adopted 2 leopard geckos and 5 beardies.
All adult beardies have issues mbd possibly in the 4 adults. So im doing my best to get them back. Uvb, calcium, and all. Any other tips to get them going?
@@reticulous_pets Any tips? If you need tips, why did you "rescue" them?
@@audreymai2773 Chill, they probably already know what to do they just were wondering if they had any other tips
This really breaks my heart. Im literally tearing up
Mike Dee412 me too it was very difficult to get through the video and see be healthy bearded dragons looking at me 😕
so sad :(
Mike Dee412 me too. It breaks my heart seeing the littlen like this. Since I got my beardie Kiwi two months ago, I have fallen in love with them...so hard to see this
Mike Dee412 same
Toyah Watson your beardie is CUTE!! I have 3 and all different types of beardie and yes this does break a beardie lovers heart...
100% the fault of the "owner". This is animal abuse. I hate people sometimes
Alyssa Hansen shut up
cc 905 who the fuck are you get off my comment.
@@cc-jg1hv you shut up....she said nothing wrong. I hate people some times too
cc 905 wowww gtfo of here ya nasty ass furry
@@cc-jg1hv what were you the previous owner? there's no reason to tell them to shut up.
This was hard to watch.. I'm so thankful he ended up in your hands and his suffering was ended. Also it's hard to see but some people NEED to see his state so they do more research and don't impulse buy reptiles and leave them to end up like this poor guy. I'm so relieved his suffering is over.
tasha 111 you know, it probably wanted to live.
Now im very scared for my bearded dragon
I have one lol but remember when he said he was in bad pain? WELP why he SQEEZ the jaw of the beardy? And yes one of the comments are right kill it it’s sad to watch it in pain not to be rude to this channel TY
Not too long before Christmas as a gift my parents got me three new geckos, which I love. They were from a lady who couldn't keep them anymore because she was moving.
What makes me mad is that during the period that she talked to my mother, she failed to mention that two of them have MBD. Not as bad as this poor guy, but their legs are really bent up. We found this out the day we brought them home, it broke our hearts.
Since then we've been doing all that we can to help them get stronger, which seems to be working so I'm very happy. The other gecko was relatively healthy and strong, but the lady said that he was aggressive. He isn't, he's a big sweetheart.
It's saddening when owners don't properly take care of their pets
The guy was touching it and squeezing it he was probably hurting it
This poor little guy. DO NOT GET A PET IF IT CANNOT/DO NOT WANT TO CARE FOR IT PROPERLY.
Alissa Michaela RESEARCH!
Exactly I ALMOST had my baby in a bad situation
O had no research on the but wanted him so bad I got he had a proper cage set up but the only thing he ate was crickets
And he was sick
I only had him for two days at that rate and soon my mom refused to let me feed him so I did a bunch of research and took him to my dad's and now he is the most spoiled thing ever
@@thevscopeppapig5398 That’s good that you realised what was wrong and took him somewhere we’re he will be properly cared for that’s amazing 👑
The poor baby...it breaks my heart seeing the poor thing suffer...this is why research needs to be done on any type of pet that you're planning to take care of...rest in peace little one
Jessie Zeller ya disappointed in the other owner
I have to agree...I just can't understand how you can let it get anywhere near that point without finding a vet asap...I had to cuddle my bearded dragon after watching this lol
The poor darling. Thank you for spreading awareness and putting this poor thing out of its misery. Research needs to be done on every pet before getting one.
Hardy Reptiles I did a full 2 months of resurch before purchasing my 1st beardy and also bought a manual aswell
Hannah Barton same
Hardy Reptiles YES!!!
Hannah Barton wow my family did we week research and our 3 bearded dragons are just fine they're all so fat and chubby have heat lamps go to bathroom every day get fed they even have LOVE from me
Hardy Reptiles .
This made me cry. How could you ever let such a precious being suffer so badly!? I’m so happy he spent his last hours with you...
poor baby
Guy: this animal is in a lot of pain
* flops it around*
I hope that bearded dragon is living a better life in heaven
Me to....I hope so to...at least it ended up in the right man's loving arms.....and was put out of its misery...how your alright up there in the pearly gates....bless you..
You deserve a better life baby
I want to cry how could his past parents be so evil
This is so sad to see an animal looking this bad 😞 like if you think that people should do lots of research before they get any animal.
Rest In Peace little dude I hope he’s playing and getting all the beardy girls
RIP ,,, wish you had a better life. RIP🦎
I know
it*
"this animal is in pretty bad pain" *squeezes his poor little face*
Poor sweet baby. The worst part is they are so cheap to buy in the uk and America that ppl buy them and think they are easy trophy pets and just leave them to fend for themselves. It’s disgusting. Lucky here in nz they are super expensive (averaging $500) so not every willy nilly can purchase them, however we still have our fair share of neglectful owners. I lost 2 of my girls to follicular stasis which breaks my heart, I did every possible thing for my girls and still lost them to a condition I couldn’t foresee nor control. 💔
Donna Wilson: 🦎 🦎💕💕
@Niko Bellic • 15 years ago 70 dollars is cheap compared to the 150 I spent for a baby tokay. And the price of other reptiles
Love how this video brings attention to improper care of bearded dragons.....thank you
0:13 made me cry poor dragon 😭😭😥😭😥😭😥😭😥
iiMusa same 😿😿😿😿😿😿😿
LaumiRez Sadly Yes 😞
Yeah lier
U did not cry u just sad
Fuck how life can be
How someone could sentence a poor animal to a fate of pain and suffering is beyond me. This brings me to tears. I wish I could love and protect them all. I wish this sweet pea and all others only the best forever.
So so sad.. He definetly would have been a beautiful dragon if his previous owner cared enough to give him a proper life. My beardie Giz is 9 months old now and still doesnt want anything to do with veggies. Im getting worried at this point.. Hes got good weight to him and seems happy as could be but ive tried literally EVERYTHING to get him to eat fruits and veggies. I can sometimes trick him into eating a single piece of carrot, or pepper or blueberry etc, but then he ignores it and wants nothing to do with it. he fluxuates between super worms, crickets, and roaches every other day but I cant get him to eat anything else.. Any tips?? I also dust his crickets with calcium at least once a week.
We use a cheese grater to grate the veggies and then grate a little apple with it. The juices mix together and make it more appetizing. We only use greens like kale, mustard greens, dandelion or collard greens and root veggies like squashes, sweet potato, etc. The only fruit we feed is apple, and only enough for the taste. Here is a post we did on how to prep veggies for feeding. facebook.com/Naturesedgewildliferescue/posts/661651824028292
Justin K. You can get a different type of powder that you can put on his crickets if he doesn’t eat his fruit and veg I’m pretty sure not %100 you’ll have to find out..
Musolino Gaming Thanks I've never heard about that but in sure there are vitamin supplements that could do the trick. A few weeks ago I begun "assist feeding" him his veggies every other day. It's more like opening his mouth and making him eat it but whatever I just don't want him to get sick. This past week I've gotten zero resistance though he used to hate it and squirm around but now he'll open his mouth with just a little pressure to his mouth. Lol I really just think he's lazy as hell and doesn't want to do any work for his food.
Justin K. Hahahah probs and thanks for commenting back mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Justin K. + i gave you a sub 👍🏼👍🏼
That was the best decision you could make at this point.
Great job Doc!!
How do you let this happen? How does someone let it get so bad before letting him go? This is horrendous.
I can understand not having much extra time to take care of one quite properly, but to the extent that this one got to was shocking, like how do you not see that sooner.
@@Wizurdous well I can assume it's the people that had this little one before the camera person got that poor bean but yeah I agree with ya
@@Bowser64798 yep....the little one is resting pain free in heaven with friends and God to be with ...bless them all...and I mean all of them big and small shower them with love and respect and trust ..
what if it was on purpose?
That is absolutely foul. I can't believe someone could be that ignorant but it happens all the time. Breaks my heart.
Thare are people out thare that are as stupid and ignorant as a donkey
Donkeys are smarter than the idiot who did this.
@@monicarodriguez9941 Donkey's may be called a jackass but the previous owner of this suffering little one...is more of a jackass..
Poor baby, he’s in a better place now 💕
Breaks my heart that someone would let him get this bad. ❤
I’ve sat here for about 30 minutes trying to think of a more detailed comment than just saying “this is fucking terrible”. Because it is, but that doesn’t change anything or anyone who will be the ones responsible for whether an animal lives (a comfortable life) or not. Just emphasizing more so of the horror that lots of people feel when they see a dying, neglected animal like this, but overall doing nothing to help prevent or reduce the number of cases like such.
I wish there was something more to say, something which could have a change or share an idea on a way to prevent things like this! But I don’t know what that would be, all I know is that this, and every other animal in captivity that is given poor husbandry and treatment, don’t deserve such a life and shouldn’t be forced into one..... It’s sad, as we live with billions on billions of animals and hundreds of millions of different species, and the percentage which we take into our control and confinement and then produce for others to enjoy. LOVING AND GOOD OWNERS WITH APPROPRIATE ANIMALS, yes that is okay with me and the life I have with my pets and animals is so much better than it would be without them. But bad owners and animals who shouldn’t be kept captive, that is the sad mistake that too many people make, and too many animals must live through.
\\\ Please love your animals and even the ones who aren’t “of your direct responsibility.”\\\ Because more than just, *they* don’t deserve that, everything in this planet we call home will eventually come together and will have its effect on you someday, if not you your children, grandchildren, or someone you know.
Thanks for reading.
This is an incredibly well thought out comment. It IS terrible. Thank you for saying this. It needed to be said.
This video is hard to watch but something all bearded dragon owners should see, it’s really Eye opening and really shows you the effects of nothing taking proper care of your little dragon it tells you how much they really rely on you and stuff
So sad. At least he's in a better place now 😇
what
What
What
Well if you consider be deeped in a hole full of dirt covering your body; while worms, ants and other creatures eat your flesh a better place... sure thing👍
revolution is the key For real? You have to be negative. Let us mourn this beardie you sack of shit.
Thank you for raising awareness about the causes of metabolic bone disease before you humanly put it out of misery..
wow that's sad. poor thing
This poor baby.... I’m glad he’s no longer suffering
I understand that the owner may have not intended to harm the bearded dragon at all, but it still pisses me off how some people will go out and get a pet without doing ANY research. Im glad you euthanized this poor animal because he looked like he was in pain just by BREATHING and I couldn't bare watching him trying to move a limb. It was the right thing to do.
They intended to harm it by NOT doing research. For God sake if you can spend hours on Facebook you can take 10 fucking Minutes to look up Animal Care! Chicken Broth and Baby Food?! There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this!
This made me cry, I hope he gets healthy again and feels better.:(
Unfortunately he was euthanized.
0:13 “ he’s in pretty bad pain” THEN STOP SQUISHING HIM BRUHHHH
He is just showing us how the beardie is suffering.. Its going to be out out of its misery anyways..
He probably couldn't even feel the squish...it probably knew it would be all better soon...and not suffer much longer....I understand you got mad but his pain is over....that's all that matters...and the guy taught us something....isn't it right?..and don't take it out of context...I'm sure you know what I meant...
This has broken my heart. People need to start doing the research. The poor lizard has suffered and I am both sad and angry.
I have a female bearded dragon I adopted from a pet store, she was given to the pet store owner in this condition. Her jaw is misshaped and she has a bit of trouble keeping her tongue in. Her hip area of her back has a distinct bump and her tail was twisted and towards the end looked like a twig. It stated to die off and turn brittle and she ended up loosing almost all of it. Her front legs both curve inward and her back legs are a bit deformed. She is tiny in size but since I adopted her about 7 years ago she isn’t as frail as she was. She has never seemed bothered by her condition or in pain, she actually is quite spunky and gets around very well. She eats great and (much to my worries) has layer eggs several times, none were viable. I am so thankful for how well she has done with her issues and so glad I had the privilege to adopt her and try to give her the best life I can. So very sorry that this poor baby you have was not as lucky, it broke my heart to see this poor baby. 😢
This was very difficult to watch but thank you for posting it. I share pics and vids of my beardies online all the time and people end up saying they want to get one. I shared this in order to show them they are not the type of animal you just get and forget about in their tank.
He would have been so beautiful and healthy. I’m so sorry that he was put in the wrong hands and had to suffer
I feel sick who would do this to such a cute little fella
That's really sad, humans are ignorant of their own torture habits, but yet it's fine because "I'll just get a new one"
Best bearded dragon ever he's so cute he will live a good imortal after life
I'm crying poor baby!😭😭😭
so sad. can't help but you gave love and care. Thank you
I purchases a red baby bearded dragon yesterday! 2 months old, so cute and always hungry! I am in love with this baby! This video broke my heart!
I’m a lizard person and this broke my heart, into million peace’s.
Poor baby my heart is broken 😣
Poor creature. Terrible to see something this helpless and adorable suffer like this.😭😭😭
I rescued a few reptiles. The worst conditions I saw were when someone contacted me about his "aggressive" female dwarf reticulated python. I drove four hours to pick her up. She was literally in a 30 gallon storage tote with a hole cut out and some chicken wire covering it! That was her permanent enclosure!! She was 12 feet long for fucks sake!! She was also severely underweight, had a pretty severe RI, and mouth rot (luckily she had been given to me before the mouth rot could get bad).
This guy has paid $2000 for this snake and couldn't pay more than $20 for an enclosure?? He told me she was very aggressive, but she never once struck at me. She musked me once and that's about it. She was even great at the vets the morning after I picked her up. The guy who owned asked me at the last minute if I also wanted to take a 30yo boa. The boa was in the same tote with chicken wire set up, he was also underweight (which if you can make a damn boa skinny, you must NEVER be feeding him). The BCI passed away a year later, but the retic found her forever home with a retic breeder (he only keeps her as a pet) and she's very happy now.
God, this video made me fucking cry...
Poor thing...Its previous owner just wasted its poor life. If God could give this poor thing another life, god bless. I hate it how this beardy had so much potential..But they just let it suffer. I know euthanizing was the right thing to do, but its breaking my heart to see that its whole life, and at such a young age had been taken away because of some assholes who didn't do they're research...
God does not do that!
Poor thing! Breaks my heart 😢
I have recently rescued a 2 year old beardy called rex a couple of weeks later I took him for a check up and it turned out that he had mbd but only in his tail at the moment we cannot fix it but we can stop it from getting worse and now he is very happy and living his life I. So proud of him
Thank you for rescuing him!
Thank you for ending his suffering. People need to understand the species they are buying
Poor baby. Atleast he going to a better place😇👼
This is so sad ;c
Breaks my heart--we are nursing a leopard gecko with MBD right now--he is on the edge of being savable but with calcium shots and nightly dosing he is getting better.
I showed my mom this and she asked what it was. We have bearded dragons...
R.I.P im in tears
I am so glad my bearded dragon isnt like this if it was i would've locked myself in my room and never eat again i can't bear animals getting hurt or suffering
Oh gosh.. my bearded dragon Zelda couldn’t walk right.. she had to kinda wiggle herself everywhere she went. No climbing, no swimming, it was heartbreaking. We got her from our neighbors and we knew that they didn’t take care of her right, they didn’t give her attention, feed her the right food, and we now know they didn’t have the right lights for her. As soon as we got her me and my mom instantly did everything for her. Just recently she died a few days before my birthday, we didn’t know how old she was, she wasn’t eating so we don’t know if she died of hunger, or of her bone disease. But I’m happy that she will be able to run around, climb, and walk again with other beardies.
This makes me want to cry for him.
This is horrible. I don’t understand how something so easily avoidable can happen. What careless irresponsible person let this go on...
Probably a Beardie Version of Hamsterious
Anyone else think that if it didn't have this disease but a similar face structure (minus the inability to close it's mouth) it would be adorable
This was hard to watch. I’m very glad that this poor baby finally got his pain resolved
He knows he is in good care
Wtf ppl...if your going to have pets, especially reptiles. Please please please take care of them properly
Rip poor baby.
this video can be summed up in one word *Heartbreaking*
It saddens and angers me to see things like this happen that could have been avoided, since my bearded dragon died six months ago from cancer, which luckily was fast acting and so she didn't suffer much. Its one thing to have something you care about taken away by something you can't control, but then you see something like this, where a lack of effort has doomed another living creature to die a slow and painful death. There is simply no excuse for such actions.
Poor lizard
Omggggggg poor thing god bless her
Damn... she is so beautiful even with all the abuse she has seen. Glad she is out of all the pain.
Poor baby. I rescued and rehabbed 2 dragons who were only fed lettuce from their previous owner. I had to teach them how to eat bugs because they didn’t know how. Eventually they got stronger and were able to chase after their food. It was so rewarding.
That is very sad!
Aww poor guy
Meme sandwich bob Chihuahua nipples 42 Love ur name m80
We rescued a bearded dragon who is 3 1/2 years old and her name is Darla, the name she came with. Her owners boyfriend stuck her in a box and threw her in his car for weeks without food and light. When she was rescued she ate 70 adult crickets. We were fortunate enough to give her a good home but she may have a bone disease, not as bad as this one but she never moves and she is always scared because she was abused. I feel bad for her, she’s my moms dragon. I have my own and I got him when he was a baby and now he’s 10 months and his name is Havok.
I agree with the comment below mine. The person who did this should be ashamed. That poor, poor sweet Bearded Dragon....
Poor thing
Poor guy...
Poor poor baby!!! Can't even imagine in what pain that little guy must be in!!!😭😭😭
He is so adorable! Poor thing!
Aw.poor guy...
Thats pretty sad
this is so sad. thank you for finally helping him out, i’m sure he passed peacefully. i would never in a million years allow my baby to get like this, whoever had this baby before doesn’t ever deserve another aninal
IM CRYING OH MY GOD THIS POOR POOR BABYYYYY😭😭😭😭😭😭 WHY ARE HUMANS SO AWEFUL!!
Poor thing 😭😢😫
Awwww 😭😭😥🤧😢
This is so sad 😞 The amount of suffering this poor guy had to go through at the hands of his owners. Never get a pet without doing research and knowing you can properly care for them for the rest of its life!
He's super adorable....
Poor little dude :C
this is why you have to do a lot of research before you get a new pet! i still find myself having questions about my leo, and i do research on it right away! this is so sad, and shows not everyone is fit for a reptile.
This is so sad I’m also so happy everybody in the comment section saw that this is not right thanks everybody for being a responsible person and pls take care of your Dragons
pore baby
He says that he has severe metabolic bone disease..............continues to squeeze his face. Lol. I feel so bad for the bearded dragon
We made the video to show the devastating effects of improper care. We didn't hurt the bearded dragon.
I'm glad you took action when you did your a good person. Thank you
HES SO CUTE!!!!!! Bless his heart ❤️
Watching this video made me want to cry. I think all animals try to live until the very end no matter how painful things are, and seeing this guy struggle so much hurts me :(. I'll make sure my pet never gets like this.
PLLLLEEEAAAAASEEEE DO NOT EVER PUT A BD ON ITS BACK! THEY CANNOT BREATH LIKE THAT!😭😭😭😭
Poor angelic soul! May the Gods Bless! How does anyone let them get that bad. It hurts my soul! 🌻💙
Literally sobbing 😭 how could anyone do this to something so innocent?
I’ve been an animal lover who enjoys watching and studying animals since I was a kid. I’d foster animals and take animals in as my own. Animal abuse is rampant in our world.
