Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I recently aquired three hatchling spiney tailed Iguanas and have been housing them together with intent to separate them ASAP. One in particular had become very aggresive towards the other two and I have removed him to his own enclosure. The problem is the other two have developed swollen limbs on both front and rear. They have not been suning very often because their aggresive cage mate prevented them from coming out of their hiding places. Could their swollen limbs be a sign of metabolic bone disease due to the fact they were unable to sun themselves? Or could it be another injury, perhaps from a bite or fall? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Swollen limbs can be from both MBD and, more likely in this case, injuries from the dominant male. Seperating them is the first thing to do, followed with a trip to the vet for the two injured.

GOod luck
