Back at it with two Nosy Be's!

[bimac6]

Hey again everyone.. I've been on and off of here for about 4/5 years. Coming to introduce the two new babies in our family.
Ebenezer my Nosylobe passed away recently and it was so rough. It's crazy how attached you get to these little guys. He was the sweetest cham I've ever seen.

I hated seeing his empty cage so I ordered a new 4 month old buddy to reside in it. When he arrived, I noticed he had MBD. I contacted the company and they were very apologetic and sent me a proper baby the same day. Thing is, I didn't want to return my little MBD runt so we ended up keeping him along with the company sending us a healthy baby. He climbs great, eats great, etc. just has some funny limbs. He's already has an appointment for the vet on Monday to get him up to speed on his supplements. I'm surprised that his bones are already deformed and he's only 4 months (can someone chime in on this? is it possibly from oversupplementing?) but he's a happy little guy. Just a little handicapped. The other one arrived today and he's absolutely beautiful (not to say the other one isn't!) but he is quite a bit larger than the other as well.

Any sort of tips for the MBD baby would be great. I have never owned one with MBD but I have read up on it and understand it. Thanks guys!

Enough chit chat, onto the pictures!

Yeah! It was fun pulling him out of the box and watching him go from stressed dark colors to what he transformed into. And they're only 4 months!

A better picture of his eye turrets!

They are so adorable. I am surprised to see that little guy with MBD too. I cannot believe that the breeder sent you a cham with MBD. That does not make sense. I am so glad that you going to keep him.

Best of luck with both of them! Can't wait to see them grow! Houdini is HUGE! Oh, and Welcome Back!!!

I was really upset when I noticed it. You couldn't really tell from the side but when I saw the inside of his limbs I was shocked. Again the breeder was very sympathetic and told me that he was actually the runt and wasn't supposed to be shipped out. But I'm glad he was! Now he has a better chance at life

Best of luck with both of them! Can't wait to see them grow! Houdini is HUGE! Oh, and Welcome Back!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!

I haven't posted many of the little MBD boy. Again I haven't ever owned a cham with MBD -- I just have been on the forums and I know what I need to do to prevent it.. How fast does it progress?? He has a vet appointment on Monday and he's getting his supplements/lighting but I don't know first hand if it'll get worse before we stop it in its tracks. He is a cute little guy though, huh!?

I haven't dealt with MBD before, but it sounds like you are doing everything right! I am sure the vet will give you some good liquid calcium for him.

I am so glad to see you are taking care of this adorable little guy! Good luck with him and keep us updated with pics as he grows!

My sis bought a beardie that had mbd for practically nothing and still has it. Supplemented it well and is still kicking. Sorry to hear about the mbd, but it is cute. I wanted a panther, but got my veiled last weekend, was a real small show in hatfield pa. I kinda didn't want to wait til the 27th for the big hamburg show.

I'm sure the vet will get you something like liquid calcium like someone said. Make sure the vet is reputable and experienced because I've heard of and seen many vets that don't have a clue about what they are talking about.

Thumbs up on keeping the one with MBD. Best of luck to you and the little guys.

Thank you guys. :') I'm happy we kept him too. I think I decided on the name Woody for him but I'm still thinking of a good name for the other guy!
