Pet's info: Reptile | Bearded Dragon
Hi, I just got this bearded dragon and he looks skinny and his toes are a little weird. I know he was underfed and didnt get calcium. Will a proper diet fix him or do I need to bring him to a vet?

It would be recommended to have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. This would be to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any other pre-existing conditions. If Rover does have a calcium deficiency or MBD, the vet will be able to begin treatment or treat it more effectively. If the deficiency is mild, you should be able to treat him at home with the proper care and diet. The toes may or may not return to normal.
