something wrong with legs

[jj2475]

I got my geckos 2 weeks ago. They are my first ones This is Barney

His front legs do not look like my other geckos. Does it look like something could be wrong with them?

MBD is my guess.

I'd leave calcium in a dish for him, and maybe get some phoinexworms.

Generally the disease is very curable.

They have calcium without d3 in a dish and I dust their crickets with calcium with d3 2 times a week. I will look for phoinexworms. Barney hasn't been a really good eater since we got him. He would only eat a couple crickets or 4 mealworms at a time until last night when he ate 10 crickets so hopefully that will help also.
Is there someone I can read more about MBD?
Thanks for answering

You can google MBD in leopard geckos and a whole bunch of responses pop up Basically, they need a BUNCH of calcium. Phoenix worms are VERY high in calcium compared to other feeders, that is why Nicholas suggested them. Good luck with the little one, he's a doll.

Yes. Your gecko has MBD (metabolic bone disease). Do a search here on the forums, and you will find a LOT of information on this illness and what to do about it.

Thanks everybody. How long does it take for this to happen? He came to us looking like that. The other gecko we got is fine though.
