Hi! wondering what would be the best way to get a sick beardie used to his new enclosure without stressing him out.

[QUOTE="sunnystunna, post: 1995881, member: 115481"] I have a T5 10.0 bulb that is 24 inches long. It’s the reptisun by zoo med. I feel like since this enclosure is 6inches taller I need to mount it on the inside, but I’m not sure how I’ll do that yet because I haven’t seen the enclosure in person yet. Not sure what I’ll do about the uva. I can’t move his basking spot up any higher because on his bad days he has enough trouble getting to it now… In the 40, basking spot stays about 98, hot side is about 85, cool side is 80, and he likes to stay in the cooler spots mostly. Night stays about 75. I’m not really sure how long she had him, I’m guessing about a year because she said he was over a year old. It’s definitely why he has MBD, but I think the uvb has done some good. He’s definitely been doing a lot better under my care. No vomiting, regular bowl movements, and he’ll eat if hand fed. He gets very short bursts of energy and then sleeps a good bit. But he’s stable, happy, and he does have some quality of life, I just don’t want a new enclosure to undo our progress. He gets 2-3 dubias a week, a hornworm once a week, and calciworms. Note that he doesn’t get just a ton of bugs because my vet has advised against giving too much protein. It will only further his kidney failure. Super worms were just the only thing I could get ahold of that quickly, everything else has to come via mail. Plus that’s the only thing he was being fed by his previous owner (no veggies, so the dehydration + surplus of protein caused the renal failure), and we had decided to very slowly & carefully add things to his diet after we had a probiotic in his system. But I assure you now he gets plenty of variety. I keep about 7 different veggies on hand, 4 staples & 3 occasional veggies, 2 fruits, and the bugs listed above. I also give bee pollen to entice him to eat + help him gain weight (he’s about 235g, but only 13 inches.) and he gets reptiaid once a day for immune health & better appetite. Another question: he’s been shedding for a month now, in different spots. Should I wait to move him after he is finished shedding? I know sometimes it can add a little stress. [/QUOTE]
