Hi,
After unfortunately losing my first Beardie a while back I have decided to make a new addition to the family. He is 9 weeks old and I am conscious that he hasn't eaten as much as I would've liked. I have him under a 10% UV Tube and under a 150W basking spotlight so I am just hoping it is the new surroundings that are the cause of his loss of appetite. The only concern I have is that I can only get the basking spot up to about 100-101 I rang the breeder I bought him off and he said this is fine, yet everywhere else I see says 105-110 for a juvenile.
I am reluctant to keep trying to move things around if these temps are ok as I really want him to settle in to a stress free routine!
