Hi Cyndi:

I know on your other thread you said Riddle had "some issues," but seeing this picture makes me realize just what the issues are. I'm so glad you have the UV light and are able to get Riddle out into the sun every so often. She/he has a pretty good case of MBD going on there. Hopefully you will turn it around and make her healthy.

Any other suggestions on what I can do? I want to make her as healthy and happy as possible. She has gained weight since I got her and she is much more active. Even climbs the rocks in her enclosure now and explores everything she can when outside.

I am working on an outside enclosure for her and just received lots of seeds to plant in it. I worry because she is not even 3 inches yet so she will never be left alone and it will be covered.
Thanks for the input. Cyndi

Best thing I know for MBD is sunshine and calcium-rich plants. If she'll eat food with calcium sprinkled on it, all the better.
