No I was expecting healthy babies and considering I am new to the whole leopard geckos and taking care of them no leopards with MBD was not what I was looking for. Sadly I didn't see pictures of them before I got them so maybe I should have gotten pictures.
I got some new babies from a breeder and I believe 3 have Metabolic Bone Disease!

Just so you're prepared...
Fauna's BOI can be rather...intimidating at times. Don't get discouraged and include as much information in your post as possible. Good luck!

That is terrible! I hope a GF member didn't sell you those poor babies! Please post a link to your BOI thread once you start one.

Any updates on the situation? How are the geckos doing?

That's so sad. Please report this person on the BOI and post a link here. Letting geckos get to that sort of condition is disgusting, selling them to an unknowing customer is just despicable.

I am completely annoyed right know. I take the utmost care of all our animals. wont stand for anything less. All animals in our collection are all 110% healthy. hence Healthy Geckos. and some asshole gets the sale, and you get a bad experience and unhealthy animals. Whats up with that.

I have been able to get 2 of them to eat, sadly the white one will not touch food. And sadly the other day I noticed yet another one has the beginning signs of MBD. I have not posted on the BOI only because I was asked not to but if anyone wants to know who sold me these babies I will gladly email you their name. Oh and originally I got 10 babies from this breeder and 4 have MBD, hopefully the other 6 will not come down with this =/
try (if you can) to house them separately. make sure they have a calcium dish with calcium only, in it. also dust their feeders very good. give them a little tlc. once they settle in a bit (maybe a few more days) make a paste calcium with a bit of water or pedialite and put it on the tip of their nose so they will lick it off. and keep giving them a good vitamin supplementation like herptivite.
