I put a little of the pelleted food on top and he actually
left a little of this and ate everything else. I am hoping now
with the added calcium and new Iguana light we can get his
MBD under control. He still has to wear his leg splint for
at least another week, maybe longer.

Thanks for your suggestions on earlier posts.

That is great!! Usually once they actually taste and eat some of the real food they like it a lot better than the pelleted since it has the different textures and fresher taste. We do have one right now though that thinks any change in food is awful. He likes his greens but will sit there and pick through to get out all the vegetables. He will even let it slide out of his mouth if he "accidentally" gets any veggies in!! We have even tried rolling up grated veggies in small greens leaves. Then he will eat some but that is the only way so far. Hopefully he changes soon. He is getting the right nutrition though.

Hopefully my earlier post was somewhat helpful and not too rambling!!

Beanie seemed to be more comfortable yesterday. She is not
acting aggressive to me, just the opposite, wanting to be
touched and talked to. Hopefully she is starting to adjust!

Thanks again
Linda
