Im not sure what time your lights come on, Im assuming morning. If so, I would not feed in the afternoon. I feed within the first 6 hrs(usually 3hrs) of the chams day, and let them use the last bit for basking digesting the food. Chams eat one meal: Breakfast! Just somthing I noticed, and JMO

I used it for my first chameleon, to combat MBD. It helped him get over it actually, but that was because I caught it VERY early.

kk i'm gonna get it for sure then ! Cause she has it.. she seemed to be doing better , but i just caught her for the first time since when i first got her and she wasn't doing so well sleeping during the day.. i don't kno if it's because my lighting schedules been screwed up cause the automatic timer is being retarded. but she still have her eyes closed at 6:20 in the after noon. ... "LinkinParkRulez" how long did you treat your cham with it

Chams love schedule. Get a working timer! I have had them act retarded to. Its very frustrating.

All MBD is severe. The worst cases the limbs of the cham look like noodles MBD can be stopped, and the bones healed and hardend, but the deformity of the bones is permenent. Searching can pull up much more detailed information.

Repashy Makes something like this stuff that is suppost to work great for MBD.

I rather her legs look a little funny then her die ... Is it possible to give them too much calcium ? Or the more the better kind of thing, like say i'm dusting her crickets in low phosphorus powder calcium, then would be giving her the T-Rex Bone Aid liquid calcium could that do any damage to her or mess with her?
