Thanks for reaching out about Nessie and including photos. Twitching of toes is often associated with calcium deficiency whether dietary or lack of UVB radiation. If continues, a veterinary visit is recommended, and not to wait too long as these deficiencies can result in other problems such as weak bones, weak muscles and more. Intestinal infections, inflammation or parasites can affect absorption. See a veterinarian. Good luck.
