Sick Jackson's (probably mbd?)

[brownie64]

If you can't get him to drink any other way I agree with the shower idea. It's a great way to hydrate chams especially Jacksons. You got to get water in him or he won't make it; "it is vital" Jacksons need a lot of water.

Not trying to get off the subject here but is that an aquarium at the bottom of his enclosure? Seams like an ingenious way to promote extra humidity.

Good luck I hope he gets better.

After re-reading this thread and looking at the picture I think he's drinking at least something when you don't see it- and I can also say that with my Jackson gut loading makes a really big difference- Since my daughter got her bearded dragon and the crickets get their salads the Jackson perked up - The list of what's good for dragon salad and cricket crack is what I use -
I have a cool mist humidifier that mists into the cage also- and she likes a cool down at night -
I would run a dripper after you mist and as often as you can figuring a way to drain the water without creating something for him to fall into or for the water to accumulate.

Yeah, i think that's another vital piece of Jackson's care that a lot of people neglect; the cool down, warm up period, from night today. I leave my Jacksons outside when the temps fall as low as into the 50's at night, and they seem to really relish the warm up period the next day.

I would have to agree after looking at the pic of him he don't look dehydrated to me either. And other than his legs laying down I don't see much in the way of MBD either. I wonder if he just fell and hurt himself somehow?
