I posted yesterday about my 2yo Leopard Tortoise's gender and from the picture I posted, it was determined he is very small for his size.
I started looking around the tortoise health forum and am wondering if my Leopard tortoise might have MBD? I watched some videos and saw photos from other posters whose tortoise's had MBD and I'm wondering if this is why he isnt growing and seems to just sleep all the time despite proper temps and humidity...I had posted back in 8/2020, 4 mths after I got him that he wasn't putting on weight so this has been an on-going issue.
It seems like he drags his back legs/doesn't stand up on them fully and his right rear leg seems to slightly 'jerk' as he walks. I took a video of him walking but not sure how to upload.
