How do you know it has MBD?

The quickest way to stop it is to take it to a vet and get calcium injections followed by a shot of calcitonin when the blood calcium levels are high enough. The calcitonin draws the calcium back into the bones rapidly.

What specific supplements do you use and how often for each?
What do you feed it specifically?
How warm is the basking area?
