The baby in question was born about a week and a half late, had some yolk issues (see worried about a newborn about that issue) and was off to a bad start on that note, he was eating great and was housed with the smaller group. Today since I'm out of feeders and for whatever reason they have yet to come in I have been individually feeding carnivore care to each baby to get protein in their bellies and this baby was very skinny. Was calm when I picked him up then started freaking out while eating. Would tilt his head right back and flip off my hand onto the bed and dart, generally leaning to one side. This poor baby has me spooked. I have seperated him into his own little temporary bin (30L bin) with heat mounted a distance away to give it a basking spot of 103 F by temp gun. He had a UVB (the bad coil one but I am still waiting on Arcadia lighting) that is brand new mounted 7 inches from the basking spot. His BSFL were not dusted (Phoenix worms) but his greens and crix were dusted with calcium and d3 supplement. On paper towel with climbing boxes and in a 100L bin. The basking bulb is UVA as well. Please help me help this sweet baby. From the start he has had a sweet personality despite his late bad start.
