The baby in question was born about a week and a half late, had some yolk issues (see worried about a newborn about that issue) and was off to a bad start on that note, he was eating great and was housed with the smaller group. Today since I'm out of feeders and for whatever reason they have yet to come in I have been individually feeding carnivore care to each baby to get protein in their bellies and this baby was very skinny. Was calm when I picked him up then started freaking out while eating. Would tilt his head right back and flip off my hand onto the bed and dart, generally leaning to one side. This poor baby has me spooked. I have seperated him into his own little temporary bin (30L bin) with heat mounted a distance away to give it a basking spot of 103 F by temp gun. He had a UVB (the bad coil one but I am still waiting on Arcadia lighting) that is brand new mounted 7 inches from the basking spot. His BSFL were not dusted (Phoenix worms) but his greens and crix were dusted with calcium and d3 supplement. On paper towel with climbing boxes and in a 100L bin. The basking bulb is UVA as well. Please help me help this sweet baby. From the start he has had a sweet personality despite his late bad start. :(

So was he acting fine until the syringe feeding ? And how is he now ? Do any of the babies have the Arcadia bulbs yet or still just the coil ?

I am unsure if he was fine until the feeding. I was silly and wasn't keeping a close eye on him when I should have been. Unfortunately no one has the Arcadia lights but I am working out a way to get them sunlight daily. It's a hit and miss depending on if the sun is out around 7pm. He was basking and moved around but still kinda pulled to one side. Still awfully skinny but I have word feeders will be here tomorrow. He is on his own now with no one in sight so I'm hoping he will be ok. I will update after feeding tomorrow. :)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
