So so worth it - he is just the sweetest thing and getting more active and alert by the day.

Puff went back to the vet about a week ago and vet said he’s at a normal weight now and his bone density has improved. He’ll be looking at him again in 6 months but all looks very positive.

It’s 100w and he appears to like it - he chooses to sit under it anyhow. I will defo be making sure he doesn’t get overweight which would not be good for his wee joints.

The bulb is Arcadia D3 basking bulb (yes it is a mercury vapour bulb), both photos are from today

Old vivarium vs new one

I’ve sent a pic from today. He’s in great form after the vet. I’ll still take him back to the vet in a month’s time as I just want to make sure he keeps heading in the right direction health wise and the vet is a super knowledgeable guy so provides a great deal of reassurance

We went to the vet today for Puff’s second vitamin injection- the vet thought he was looking very well and said that he has gained weight which is brill. He has to go back for another injection in a month’s time.

It’s 100% calcium, no vitamin D. He is eating very well - still being a bit choosey about his salad but he is branching out a little bit and has tried a few diff things.

Hi Tracie, I am using Prorep calci dust but I don’t know how “good” that is? He has temporarily got the Arcadia D3 basking bulb and an Arcadia 10% desert bulb - but I’ve order the Arcadia pro 12% set up for his new viv. Yeah the vet is of the opinion that he can recover thankfully - I took him...

I think it’s about 24 inch - I’ll make sure to get 36 inch for the new tank

Just by way of update - I took Puff to the vet who was surprised by his size and weight for his age and said he was very underweight and he was concerned about metabolic bone disease. He did an X-ray and found that the bone density in his feet was extremely low, but thankfully he has no...

Thanks very much - and re the 6% I just looked for where I found that and it actually said 6% UVI rather than UVB so that was a misreading on my part rather than incorrect info

That’s a really good point - I’ll still replace the bulb but maybe with a smaller one then as I don’t know how long that one has been in there
