Earlier when I posted in your first thread, Foxy had a little orange urate every time. I reduced the calcium on his roaches and tried to give more hornworms (I give them every other day). Now he has almost no orange urates, for example 5 times will be white and once a little orange. Now I see no reason why this happens. It seems to me that when Foxy eats more bugs, i.e. gorges on them , orange-colored urates reappear. But I'm not sure. And I'm waiting for a new heat lamp to replace the Arcadia DHP to eliminate its possible influence.

Now, for heating during the day, I use this lamp (DHP) View attachment 83070
I want to change it to halogen View attachment 83071
And I will only use DHP on cold nights.
You are right, thank you!
I put it wrong, of course I need to replace the basking lamp for the daytime basking zone
(Now, for basking during the day, I use DHP and I want to change it to halogen)
Babies need D3 till they are around a year old - we need Tracie and or AHBD to advise on this - the UVB helps him absorb / synthesize the calcium hes getting - please start rinsing the greens before serving - are the urates dried out looking chalky?
An interesting watch regarding a study that was done on D3 absorbtion in bearded dragons. Beardies lack the bile acids to break down D3 to allow it to pass the intestinal barrier to enter the blood stream.
