Metabolic Bone Disease?

[Kurt]

Sorry, I have not a clue. They do make calcium blocks for aqautic turtles, you can tree using those. Are you sure there is a problem to begin with?

The knee joints seems to be deformed/disfigured in that instead of forming a smooth angle between the femur and tibiofibula, they are kiltered up, resulting in the tibiofibula sitting directly above the femur...

It is rather strange looking and I have never seen any of the little guys do this until now (though, I must admit I am rather new to these frogs and have only had them for a few months).

Is it possible that there is no problem at all? It looks quite unnatural to me and, as I said, he also seems less interested in food.

I also forgot to mention in my first post that I occasionally throw in an algae waffer...do these harbor a good source of calcium?

Thanks for the help

Sound more like rheumatoid arthritis than metabolic bone disease, but I am not a vet so I can't say for sure. I really have no clue what the problem may be.

Probably not. Check the package though, it should list nutritional information.
