I got some new babies from a breeder and I believe 3 have Metabolic Bone Disease!

[Leomyster]

Thanks Robin and yea I felt that everyone should know about my experience

 

[JordanAng420]

Yes you did a very good thing...we all got your back, don't worry! I hope the slurry helps.

 

[robin]

oh, you may want to send this dude an email. might want to title it BOI and link him

 

[Chibii]

how could they let it come this far!! poor thing, they should see a specialised vet

 

[Leomyster]

If anyone has seen the post on Fauna I would just like to clarify:

Yes the geckos came to me in that condition, the geckos were bought for me by my aunt and I was asked not to post about my experience with them but I felt that I needed to. The Fauna thread has turned into a bomb but I agree with all that has been said on there, however, I don't agree with the babies being shipped out like that but I will love these babies just the same as the others and right now I am trying to give all some very much needed TLC and hopefully they will grow and be able to be beautiful pets one day when they are strong enough.

Just to update everyone I have made them Slurry and will be giving them some tonight, also two of them (not the white one) are eating and seem to be doing a little better, I am still hopeful that the white one can and will pull through. If anyone has anymore advice for helping the white one out feel free to PM me or email me thank you very much for everyones help on the Fauna thread, and if anyone has unanswered questions feel free to ask.

Thanks everyone,
Jazmin (Also I will continue to keep everyone updated)

I love the fact that, his only defense is that he sold it to her Aunt and that Jazmin therefore has nothing to do with it at all. It is all a mess, and they should just accept the fact. They did a big NO NO. If they were getting animals to put them through re-hab and sell them as pets. Did they just forget the re-hab part and send them as pets? I mean come on. Only a fool will believe that.

I wouldn't call it a bomb, after the initial confusion was cleared up people have posted overwhelmingly in your support. You were successful in getting the word out about a bad dealer, and that counts for something. Best wishes to your geckos for a quick recovery.

Jazmin, thanks so much for sharing your story, you absolutely did the right thing!!!

You have nothing to worry about...it didn't turn into a "bomb" at all. I actually think it was pretty sucessful, as far as getting your point across. Most everybody over there understands and agrees with you, and plus, we're all there too! As far as care for these geckos, you guys need to find a vet that can give you some liquid calcium to add to their diet.

 

[ang3l3s]

You did the right thing and it is good to see the community back u up., liquid cal all the way, hopefully the mandible is still strong enough to strengthen!!

 

[robin]

can you buy liquid calcium over the counter? i don't think so. Hmmm :/

 

[spykerherps]

I know exo terra used to make a liquid calcium I think they still do . let me check.

 

[spykerherps]

looks like they still do I actual got some a wile back but hardly ever use it . I keep it around for emergencies.

[sammer021486]

before I found Repashy's Calcium Plus ICB, I used the Exo-terra liquid calcium water conditioner to ensure that my gecko whom only ate mealworms continued to get calcium in his diet. I have used it for almost 4 years now and have not had any experiences with MBD with my gecko who had been on it for 3 years.

I have found it difficult to find sometimes from US suppliers though for a decent price.


Hope all goes well with your geckos

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

Good luck with the geckos' recovery

 

[gitrdone0420]

I hope they are doing well! I just read through the whole FaunaC thread. Its just unbelievable! :main_no:

 

[Seahorse]

Man, what a mess! We're all pulling for their recovery. Wish you the best of luck on them all. Keep us posted, please!

*Zilla also makes an inexpensive liquid calcium*
