Hi everyone, here is a video about Metabolic bone disease in tortoises, in particular Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism. We had a tortoise come to live with us called Tommy, who had a severe case of MBD due to poor husbandry, you can see his story here: youtube.com/watch?v=TuQUTLDJTOE

Sadly he is no longer with us due to this condition so I am making a video to raise awareness about the causes, treatment and prevention.
