Abstract
Asymptomatic captive bred and wild-caught mountain chicken frogs (Leptodactylus fallax) were radiographed for evidence of metabolic bone disease (MBD). All 22 captive bred frogs had multiple folding fractures of long bones, decreased bone density, and cortical thinning, whereas none of the 11 wild-caught frogs had any radiographic evidence of MBD. These findings suggest that the nutritional requirements of L. fallax need to be examined for captive management purposes. Zoo Biol 30:254–259, 2011. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
