Hey, I was using ReptiGlo 10.0 which I now know is bad. So I ordered a ReptiSun 10.0
. I shut my ReptiGlo off, so he wont be getting any UVB untill the ReptSun arrives. How long can my bearded dragon go without a UVB source?
If your ReptiSun is already on the way, I wouldn't worry about it. Dragons can go for days, a week and even a little more without UVB, and be just fine. Just keep the basking light burning, keep him
hydrated, and offer food as usual. Don't be too concerned if the appetite wanes a bit, as it may due to the lack of UVB. When the ReptiSun comes, plop it in and give him a few days to catch up. That said, when we swapped our compact out for a ReptiSun, we saw a difference in our dragon within HOURS, more energy and the appetite started growing within a day or two, incrementally speaking that is. We had the UVB off for about a week, better NO UVB than poor UVB.
Best to you!
