Metabolic Bone Disease in Reptiles

Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a well recognized and all too common disease of reptiles, and may also be called fibrous osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, and rickets. There is no single cause and the disease is not as simple a calcium deficiency, but the disease is almost always a result of a problem with husbandry. It is preventable by proper diet and husbandry, though, so be sure you are caring for your reptiles properly!
