Well, the vet just recommended Reptical. I don't know if she has MBD or not (she might have it), but she does roam around her cage so I want her to have more room.

: Erin- I am glad that below you cleared it up that your iguana HAD MBD. That clears it all up.

: Some good suggestions for MBD are:
: Regular QUALIFIED/Experienced vet trips.
: Sunshine more than ever is a MUST.
: Correct UVB bulbs, and changing the bulbs is also nessasary.
: Supplements of calcium, and tons of good foods as you seem to be doing now which is great.

: If your iguana *does* have MBD the vet should have gave you some sort of guided program for recovery to follow of some sort. And exersise is wonderful, but remember MBD affects muscel mass and bone structure among other things if I remember correctly (someone correct me if I am wrong please!) so he/she might not be able to be as crazy as she/he would if he was MBD free.

: I am glad to know already reconize the problem! :o)

: Marisa
