hi could anyone tell me if you can reverse the effects of m.b.d in chams? i have just got some new chams from a breeder which are lovely and both are eating and active and look very healthy but i have noticed that there bottom jaws are ever so slightly bowing outwards and one of them looks quite flexable when he was eating ..its quite slight and not awful looking but i know this can be a symptom of m.b.d, the old owner said he never used to dust his insects with a calcium and vit supplements and relied on feeding the crickets up with fresh plants ect ,also he used .merc vap bulbs as a u.v source and heat source which is fine but i have no idea what age these bulbs were as i know they still need to be replaced with time and use.
Can i reverse this possible problem with time as they now have a new arcadia 12% u,v strip bulb(which is in reach of them) and a good basking area and with a good supplement of calcium and vit dusted over there insects and also a good gut loaded insect?? or will it get worse..worried now!!!!
