Do you know what they were feeding him at the pet store?
I also agree it looks like MBD
You may be on to something, I never saw any CGD at that store, I had to get it somewhere else. Maybe they fed him baby food when he was a little one Could his diet at a young age have caused this MBD now?
I might not have worded in correctly in my previous post but basically I'm assuming one of three things happened to him.
A.) He has a genetic defect which is not allowing him to absorb proper nutrients into his bloodstream but his care was perfect from day 1, meaning its no ones fault.
B.) He does not have a genetic defect but his early care (probably not in your hands) was bad which lead to early MBD, meaning its the pet stores fault.
C.) A mixture of A and B. He had a genetic defect and his early care was crap, meaning again its the pet stores fault.
And actually I just thought of another possibility. Which is that his mother was not supplemented properly during the season and so he got or was susceptible to MBD at a very young age, possibly pre-hatch.

Reason: And actually.....
5.5.13 C. Ciliatus - Specialize in Super Dals 0.0.1 V. Exanthematicus (Skorge) 4.4 U. Lineatus 1.2 N. Amyae 1.2.2 N. levis levis 1.0 U. Pietschmanni (Pietsch) 5.2.2 U. Fimbriatus
Lots of BPs focusing on Clown stuff in 2014.
One last thing that I wanted to get some input on is potentially switching him to a tub setup. The tub I was looking at was 64 qt a, 23.5 by 12 by 15 tall. I was thinking that by doing this, the little guy would probably find CGD more easily, and if he has bone issues, the tip can e more cluttered so he doesn't have to jump around as much. Lastly, humidity would be easier to keep. Let me know what you think!
