hey guys need some help.my 6" savannah is not walking like a savannah .he doesn't lift his rear body off of the ground when he walks.i use a calcium powder on his food when he eats.what do you guys and or gals think could be the problem.

thanks eric r

Well he could Have MBD. Thats a calcium diffenciency in his bones. Even though you might use calcium it still can happen. They get it from the lack of uva/uvb rays that the sun puts out. If they dont have the uva/uvb rays sometimes they can get MBD. Its not really prone in monitors but it still can happen. Do you have a calcium light for him? You can buy them at diffrent pet stores..
