MBD?

[Kaspar825]

My gecko may have MBD but I'm not sure he shakes his arms if he walks slowly although he could run fast so if he has it I think it's still early. Also I don't know why but he almost seems to have a slightly sticky almost belly. It's not sticky but shiny and I don't know how to explain it. Should I take him to a vet? How can I find one? How much should it be? I only have $100 right now and no more for a while(not old enough to work). He was going to breed but if this is anything wrong I'll wait until full health is back. Thank!

Oh yea I'm also dusting his crickets for calcium.

It is not a good idea to breed any reptile that is not 100% healthy.

What kind of calcium powder are you using?

Can you get Phoenix Worms anywhere near you? I have used them with great success to help reptiles with MBD.

 

[Kaspar825]

Right now I'm using a zoomed repti calcium. Yea I know I said I'm waiting until he's back to full health. And I'll see about phoenix worms.
