Just got my new leo, I believe she has MBD

[RexRaptor]

I got a leo of kijiji yesterday the lady I got her off of said she got her from someone who neglected her. She had had her a few months, the leo is 3 years old. She seems energetic and mostly in good health besides being underweight and the deformities. I got liquid calcium and d3 today as well as butter worms, wax worms and kingworms. She had 2 butter worms, a wax worm and 2 king worms tonight, she hadn't eaten in 3 days according to the lady I got her from. Any adivice would be appreciated thanks.

I'll merge the two posts about this. Yes, she has MBD and the calcium and vitamin D3 will help stop the progression but not reverse it. I'd recommend not doing too much waxworm in case she gets fixated on those. In addition to the feeders you got, consider super worms, crickets or dubia roaches as well.

Thanks for doing that. I'm just hoping she won't continue to deteriorate. I will use the wax worms sparingly, I have superworms for my other leo I can give her and ill get crickets next time I'm in the pet shop. Thanks for the reply.
