what % of beardies have mbd?

[reytamminen]

hi all, im doing a research/informative speech about beardies for my public speaking class and i wanted to talk about lack of uvb and mbd; but i cant seem to find any STATISTICS about mbd. i keep seeing "very common", "most common," etc, no actual stats on approximately how many beardies actually have mbd. do any of you know/have a fair guess? or know a source that i could use to find some stats? thank you!

It is common for a bearded dragon to have MBD but I would say my guess is around 30%. I don't know if thats accurate

What about calling a local exotic vet in your area? You could get a better idea on how many beardies who come to your local vets have MDB. Then it is unfortunate the actual number would be higher due to people not bringing their animals into the vet. That could be something to make a point of in your presentation.
