Fat Albert, our baby beardie is going downhill

Hello,

That is fine to mix the carnivore care with the soy yogurt.
I would use a ceramic heat emitter at night instead of a black light, as he could still be able to see the black light.

I hope he is doing better!

He is a little more alert but still has eyes closed most of the day. Ate a few veggies today on his own and of course carnivore care food. Lets hope he is making a recovery. If he gets better and back in his regular eating schedule and starts growing like he should will his overall length when he gets older be stunted? And don't I need a special socket for the ceramic heat emitter?

Some folks use a regular socket for a CHE. I'm really scared of a fire, so I would only use a fixture that says it's okay to use with a CHE...or at least one that doesn't warn against it. Good luck, dear.

Hello,

That is great he seems to be doing so much better now.
Just make sure the light fixture supports the amount of wattage of the ceramic heat emitter. I would use a ceramic topped fixture.
I hope he continues to eat his greens & insects. Hopefully he will keep his eyes open a lot more each day. If he can get through this, his growth shouldn't be too stunted though.
