How do you treat MBD? My firebelly newt developed it about four months or so ago. He's adapted to his spinal kink very well and, unlike before, doesn't fall over anymore, and it doesn't seem to be affecting him negatively, but it still bothers me for him to have it.
I don't have access to any bait shops - only a generic pet shop, mealworms, and frozen bloodworms, the latter of which I've been feeding him as a staple for around six years now. Does MBD frequently result from a diet of frozen bloodworms and should I try to change up my paddletail's diet a bit so he doesn't get it as well?
To add, my firebelly has a kink in his spine and walks oddly, but he moves quite well for himself. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, eats like a pig, and has lived with me for around six to seven years now without any health issues but this.
Thanks.
