thanks!
Since I am still learning about issues that can arise in my toad pets... What are the symptoms of MBD specifically in toads? I am also looking into getting a light, actually the same light that was suggested to you, but I don't want to make the wrong decision and provide UVB if they don't need it. Right now, all I am using for light is an LED desk lamp because it doesn't throw heat. The temps in the tank maintain between 68-70 degrees, which is just right for them. I do dust their crickets w/out D3 but just bought a bottle with D3, so I don't want their calcium level to boom. So... how did you know or suspect MBD? What were the signs/symptoms in Michael? Thanks!
