MBD is also known as Metabolic Bone Disease. It is one of the more common reptile health concerns. You should make sure that you fully understand the signs and symptoms so that you can keep a look out for your pet reptile's health. now the treatment and preventative measures so that you never have to combat the illness.
I will say that for personal reasons, I have done everything that I could for one of my bearded dragons, yet she still contracted MBD. I believe that she has it because of poor breeding and poor initial husbandry from the petstore that she was purchased from. So, you want to watch out for these factors as well. Finding breeders in your area or even reputable petstores will lower your risks of picking a pet with MBD, or one that may possibly contract it.
