reovering from mbd

[luvinmycham]

So, I am hoping someone can help me. We found out our lil veiled had mbd 4months ago. She was very sick. Took her to the vet immediately. Got her on the right track to recovery. She is doing well. We have been syringe feeding her for these few months. The vet now says to start introducing her back to crickets and worms. She still can't move around as of yet like she use to. How and what can I put the crickets in to kind of contain them so se can go after them without having to search around as much?

i use a cheap but slick bowl that i got at ikea.
i just take the jumpin legs off the crickets
and the bowl is slick enough they can't get out.

What have you been doing to correct the MBD?

 

[luvinmycham]

we have taken her to the vet once a month since she was diagnosed. the vet gave her 2 injections the first visit. also, liquid cacium and carnivore care to syringe feed her everyday. she is still being syringe fed,but now se is fighting a little. she has inproved so uch,the vet is amazed at how well she has done. we love our little girl and wanted to help her in anyway possible. so, last week the vet suggested we start introducing her to crickets and worms again. she is gaining strength back,but not fully as of yet.
