MBD in C. calyptratus and its prevention

I thought I'd draw everyone's attention to an article that was published last week. It is titled "Nutritional Metabolic Bone Disease in Juvenile Veiled Chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus) and Its Prevention". Definitely some useful information in the article:

Very useful Chris! Compared to other chameleon's velied babies grow extremely fast and people have issues giving the good nutrition. I see MBd more often than needed..
