one of my cresteds is getting a kink at the end of it's tail. Is it MBD? is it genetic? It's only a young crested, if it's MBD and only the very beginnings, can this kink be reverted??
please help

How old is your crestie? What is the diet that you are feeding it? Those two things could help figure out if it is MBD. If you are really concerned you should go to a vet just to be sure. If caught earlier it should ( I think) be correctable.

It can't be older than 3-4 months at the most. It's getting CGD and sometimes GGD, It doesn't seem interested in crickets at all, so it's not getting extra calcium

Good, the CGD should have enough calcium in it. I sometimes add a little extra calcium in for my females, so you can try that if you like.
