Today I picked up this little cutie Wilson, a 6 month old beardie.
Immediately I did a wellness check on him and was saddened to find his bones were flexible! Uh oh! The dreaded Metabolic Bone Disease. Blast!
He had a UVB light, but it was a cool bulb and not strong enough to help him metabolize calcium. Coil bulbs are NOT worth the money!! Invest in a straight UVB bulb always!!
Luckily the people taking him were willing to treat his MBD and take good care of him. I think we caught it soon enough that he should be fine.
