she's ADORABLE!!!

i know it won't solve this current problem, but i have both of these which could be useful to you in the future carrier outside/temp enclosure

LOVE THE NAME!!! congratulations 💜

right??? like when they're "stay RIGGGGHHHHTTT there!"

not at all. a lot of people do crickets cause they can be found locally. it's actually cheaper to get bugs online.

we only feed dubias, but sir henry only has bugs once a week now, if he chooses to eat them at all. a couple times a year we get some superworms or silk worms to give a break from the dubias. currently we have some silkworms. you could do all 3 and do a mix. the silks grow fast though so only...

that's interesting. i will add to the probably defective list. those are the bulbs i always use and have never had a problem with them. although i do have a solid top tank, so i don't have a dome, and usually use a 75W in winter and 50W in the summer. i suppose that could make a difference.

i'll tag tracie. she's a vet tech but on pretty late at night. she can go over the labs with you. @Drache613 did the vet mention the reason for the surgery?

we don't do crickets. they are disease prone, can be noisy, and stink. plus, they die off quickly. it is possible the temps are off which could affect eating/digestion. or she could just not be hungry. if she's acting normally otherwise, i'd get the probes to verify temps and then just keep an...

sir henry for sure loves outside time! we just have a limited season where it is warm enough to do so on the north oregon coast. they should have a multivitamin at least once a week. sir henry hates anything powdered, so we get liquid calcium and vitamins from tracie, @Drache613 , who is a...

oh good! so far you have avoided most of the "kit" problems i encountered. the outside UVB is great! i'm not quite at the outside temps here at home that will allow that, but we're getting close. are you giving a multivitamin too, or just the calcium? you're going to want digital probes for...

oh she's a little cutie!!! for your uvb, is it a long tube light, or a compact/coil? you want a tube, the compact/coils are inadequate and cause health problems. the tubes have specific distances to have them based on the top of your enclosure and what strength of bulb. i'm sure @KarrieRee...

and welcome to the forum!

the first place to start is with your setup. it really does control everything health wise with these guys. let us know what size enclosure you have, what lights, feeding schedule, temperatures and how you are getting those readings. the vast majority of the time any issues are solved by getting...

we do salads every day here, but what doesn't get eaten by late afternoon goes to the roaches
