Signs of MBD include lethargy, distorted/swollen/rubbery/bendy limbs and/or a soft/flexible jaw. This disease results from a calcium deficiency. Note, this does not necessarily mean that there has not been enough calcium in the diet. Calcium uptake is regulated by a number of factors, an imbalance in the relative amounts of these factors can be the cause. Appropriate supplementation of the food should prevent MBD. A qualified reptile vet should be consulted should MBD be suspected, they will be able to advise if the problem can be corrected by supplementation or whether calcium injections are required.
