Have you a gecko with MBD?

Neither cricket4u nor I recommend daily dusting of livefood.

No, but vets do overdose reptiles that suffer from MBD. Anyway i do not suggest anyone do it unless they did some research on it or spoke to a vet, of course.

I "think" i posted this in the right thread btw.

This information would be more helpful in a thread that is about MBD.

Thanks!!

I actually fed my malnourished gecko with Nutrobal and the MBD signs started to reverse! One of my geckos’ front legs begun to develop MBD, and after I gave him Nutrobal regularly he slowly got better and is now doing great! So no more overdose for that little guy. I suggest people look around the net if planning on overdosing a sick gecko, or better, talk to a vet! Some people have this idea that geckos develop MBD in long periods of time, they are incorrect.

It is my understanding that when MBD is caught early it is reversible.

Good to hear your gecko has recovered. Keep up with your supplementation! Too much D3 is as detrimental as too little D3.

2) Can you overdose on Nutrobal?
In theory yes, in practice no. ie the same comment that applies to table salt. We've sold it for 20 years now and have never had a problem. Vets routinely overdose when treating metabolic bone disease in reptiles.
