So my new tiny lizard Nova seems to be pretty picky!
He will eat many crickets, but if they have calcium powder or vitamin powder, acts like he can't see them!
I've gotten him to eat a few small clover leaves, but only once!
Also I ordered some black solder fly larva and after watching them and liking them, Nova ate a few seemingly grudgingly! After that day, he only will eat one or two and ignores them!
Now I know people say an old or wrong uv light can cause eating problems, and I got a new one in just hadn't installed it yet because I've been so busy.
But I'm a little worried the new light will make no difference...
The UVB and the basking temps control the over all health and behavior of the dragon -- if it is incorrect he will not eat and he will get sick from other issues MBD being the most prominent one -- they must have proper UVB --- tell me what you got for the UVB so I can help you get it placed in the tank --- you need to do this right away ----
I have a zilla desert t8 uv. It's actually an old one that I forgot to replace after my previous dragon died.
The new one I didn't have time to install is actually a couple months old, but it was never used.
The heat light is a reptisun 150 watt clear light.
I'm planning on switching out the uv light tomorrow morning before the little guy is up. And then I'm going to try and find a reptisun brand uv tube.
I've just been very busy this weak and had some unexpected problems....
You mean the one that was already in there? I took it out this morning and put the other one in, the one I've had but never used.
It does seem to have made a difference, little guy ate 13 larva this morning and then a bunch of those tiny crickets a few hours later.
