Hi Everyone, I'm sure many of you saw some of my posts in the forum already, but I haven't properly introduce myself yet. I'm just a college student who owns my turtle for about 3 and half years, I got him from Pet Lovers when he was just an inch :) his name is "Pineapple"(In my language it means bring happiness to the family), unfortunately he is recently being diagnosed to have MBD(Metabolic Bone Disease) :cry: so his size remain relatively small, which is why I'm joining this forum to learn whatever I can to make my turtle feel better.

To reverse MBD, I believe you should get a uvb bulb that of 10% or bring it outside for undirect sunlight.

Hi and Welcome. Sorry to hear about your turtle.. :(

In case you don't know what causes MBD or how to treat it.. there's a great section on the main website about this.
