: I found this little guy at my pet store. He arrived last week. Unfortunately, the daytime people don't take the time to cut up and feed the food I brought in. As a result, Chance has MBD...it's prolly been compounded by the stress of being shipped around. Both of her (i think she's a she) front legs are useless. She can't walk on them at all. I have her in a ten gallon so she doesn't have far to walk for food and she's a very small little ig. I need advice on calcium supplements. How much should you give an ig who has a severe deficiency? Is there anything else I can do? Chance loves to eat and is getting a little fatter. Thanks for your help, and I'll let you all know how she's doing.

: Rachel, Maverick, and Chance

I'd supplement her everyday right now but honestly, I'd already be at my vets for injection or whatever the baby needs.Not knowing how long it's been like this or the about age of the ig doesn't help us either. Did it get any type of UVB Call the pet store and see if they'll tellyou anything about the care and then call a "
herp vet"Everyone here will do their best to give yo help also.Please give us more and as much info you have for us to help.
