TOE MBD??

jennyandpika · Aug 17, 2018

Hi, Im back once again with a concern in Pikachu that he might have MBD. He hasn't been eating and has become underweight, so I have to force feed him wax worms, but now his toe looks crooked

I don't believe it's been like that, I truly hope it's just a weird trait he has! I sprinkle his waxies with calcium and he has a UVB
I'm having problems posting his toe but I have pictures of him and his setup from a while ago

Thank you!!

Here's his toe

Which UVB light are you using? The toe looks more like it's broken or deformed. Has it been like that for a long time or did it just start? It doesn't look swollen which is good. He may have caught it in the hammock at some point.

Pika has a Reptisun 10.0 UVB. I don’t believe he’s had this, I’m sure I would have remembered when I trim his claws. He hasn’t shown any signs of pain with it, he’s walking normally too.

If it doesn't get swollen and he isn't showing signs of it bothering him, I wouldn't worry too much. Keep an eye on it for swelling or for other fingers/toes to look problematic. If you see changes like that, then an x-ray might be a good idea. Otherwise if it isn't bothering him, I'd just let it be.
