A few weeks ago i bought a trio of gargs from shawn (smcvay) in the classifieds. 1 reddish male and 2 orange blotch striped females. Two are 2yrs old and thriving however the third, a yearling female is getting skinny. She seems to have almost no use of her back legs and cant get around well at all. I hand feed her a lot and put her by the food (garg diet loaded w/ extra calcium). She can move them a little but they are very shaky. I took his advice and removed some shed stuck on one some of her toe pads on one of the back legs but this has done nothing. Please help. MBD????? Also, they are all separated, humidity is between 30-50% and temp is between 65-80. Thanks for any help,

Jack

...sure sounds like MBD to me, I'd get her to a vet A.S.A.P. if I were you.

Im just checking on the status of the female. I know you had said you thought rhacs didnt like high humidity and you were keeping it low, and I told you it seemed like she was probably dehydrated and needed more humidity. Is she doing better once you did this?
