If it is MBD, it may still live 'ok', but should never be bred. Just keep up with the dusting of all food and keep it properly hydrated. _________________

Thats a very good question and to be hoinest I don't rightly know. I would guess that it depends how far gone the mbd is if it is MBD. Calcium intake and uptake will be the priority as you know.. As long as the temps etc are right and she has access to basking light and a good uv/a tube then she should start to assimalte the calcium supplements that you are givng her, are you hand feeding her at the moment? Is she still drinking ok? _________________ www.rickslivefood.co.uk
