Closely supervised freeroaming in a small room like the bathroom would be good for Zabouri. Also, the Tums is an excellent idea. Also try some swimming in the tub, it's good nonstressful exercise. I've included a picture of my Potentia (Po for short) that was taken almost 3 years ago, shortly after we rescued her. Po had a horrific case of MBD. Both of her forearms are bowed, her front toes are all curled up, you can see the humps in her back and the shortened lower jaw, and she had a very badly healed fracture in the lower hind leg. Her growth was grossly stunted. She has recovered really well and is everybody's sweetheart. I've had more offers of $$ for Po than you can imagine!! Even after all she has been thru Po is still my easiest egger too. About every 10 months she becomes gravid and lays 17-28 eggs with no problems. The first time she laid for me, 2 years ago this coming August, she did it all alone. I was in Orlando for the big herp show at the time. She is a fulltime freeroamer and the best iguana anyone could ask for! BTW, Po's stats at approx. 5 years of age are...36 inches STL and a whopping 2 pounds!!
I wish you and Zabouri all the best! Keep up the good work!
