Maladie métabolique osseuse des reptiles. MBD
ATTENTION! (Older photo of Rosie) let’s talk about MBD. What you see here is a bearded dragon with SEVERE metabolic bone disease (MBD). This is due to improper/no uvb and or no supplements and not used properly either. This dragon is A YEAR OLD. Smaller than the size of my palm. Sometimes a dragon that’s lacking can almost look like they are vibrating their limbs. That can be due to lack of supplements and UVB. Rosie is a Severe case we took in. I want everyone to share this if you care about bearded dragons. This is important. MBD IS NOT REVERSABLE!! Without the right uvb their bones get soft and start to deform.. it’s serious! 🥺 please share! Spread the word. ❤️
some ways to notice MBD:
- kinks in body
- underbite
- hour glass shaped head
- curled arms/legs
- flat spine
- sometimes no teeth
Brands of UVB do matter! Not allowed will work. One of the best being Arcadia or ReptisunT5. There are different strengths depending on distance and screen! ❤️ NO COIL UVB BULBS!!
