Ok so first off, you need a linear uvb light, that's most important right this minute. I will get you a link in a second. You also need to raise his cage up on something, being on the floor can be very stressful for them. If he isnt using his legs then you need to set up a vet appointment, I'm guessing its metabolic bone disease so he will need vitamin injections and things like that. Once we fo over your form that you filled out, you need to fix these changes asap
i don't think i mbd his legs have been crushed one of his feet are missing petco said he had been seen by there vet i will get his cage off the ground asapOk so first off, you need a linear uvb light, that's most important right this minute.
