I went to a pet shop near me, and they had 2 hatchling beardies - both of witch were stargazing(looking straight up) One of them would straighten up, walk a bit and fall on his side.
The owner of the shop asked me if I knew what was happening to them - I thought possilby MBD - and told her to get a MVB on them.
Am I correct thinking this is MBD? Anyone have an Idea as to what it may be?
Thanks for your help.

I dunno about pet stores *shakes head* i walked into a pet store in a mall about an hour from me, and they had 3 baby 3-4 in. beardies in a 10 gallon tank with a regular 40 watt light bulb emitting a whopping 80 degrees of heat in the middle of the day also all they had to eat was iceburg lettuce. The only thing they did was lay around sleeping only one opened their eyes when I walked near the cage. So I asked the "manager" to kindly take proper care of her animals and requested that she turn the bearded dragon tank up atleast another 15-20 degrees minimum and asked if she fed the beards anything other than lettuce and they wouldnt take my word for it that its not good for them. It was a pointless battle I guess hopefully they will soon recognize their mistakes luckily its not one of my local pet stores although their not much better :-/
