Hi guys,
A bit of background info: I purchased a baby bluey from the Castle Hill expo last month. He's been great, he gets quite active, also loves digging... regular bluey stuff. He feeds on peas, carrots, catfood, and occasional bok choy. He is fussy though - he'll pick out the peas and usually leaves the rest. I dust the food with calcium supplement. The tank has a warm end of 34, cold end of 24.
Issue: I went to give him his daily feed, and when I picked him up I noticed that he has a dip in his back (as per attached photo). It's the first time I have noticed it, I throughly inspected him 2 days ago as he was in the process of shedding and didn't notice anything then. I did my reading and stuff prior to purchase and this looks like a case of MBD. What I don't get is that I powder his food with Calcium and he also gets sunlight so what could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated! Also, I have read that this is irreversible? Is this the case or is there anything I can do to try and fix it? It doesn't seem to have troubled him that much as he is still active and still eating. So yea, any advice on how to fix this would be great!
Thanks guys!
