How is your Guggy doing? Any luck on getting a new UVB light?
Most pet stores only have the regular T8 tubes but not the T5 lights.
You can try starting your own cricket colony, but it will take some time to get some little
hatchies though.
I hope you are able to get him back to health, calcium issues are rough.
The Arcadia 12% bulb is good quality and certainly an upgrade. I would get that if that is the best option available to you. Natural sunlight is also a great option to include along with new lighting as mentioned. Bring him outside as much as you can. You may also want to check with Swell Reptiles in the UK and see if they can ship lights to you for a reasonable cost. This is probably your best option for a UVB light from them. https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/arcadia-prot5-kit-desert-12/
Guggy is doing more than well now I think all of this was from stres because we moved everything out of his terrarium :/ but I gaved him his old stuff(decorations) back as soon as I could
He is digesting fine now and everything went back to normal
I do not have new uvb light yet I should get it this week
I got new not tube shaped uvb light for Merid now I need to get tube shaped for Guggy
I ordered T5 uvb lamp for him too but I will try to find one in some pet stores
That is terrific news Guggy is doing a lot better now.
I am happy to hear that he is digesting better now, that helps him feel so much better.
I am sure the new light will be excellent & help expedite his recovery a lot more.
I will
I will probably buy the light this weekend
He is still lil bit to skinny so if any one knows how can I put some waight on him please reply
I'm feeding him with mealworms now
I'm not feeding him with calcium rich worms because for some reason he can not digest those!
He does not want to eat vegies or fruits so much but I will still give those to him!
GUGGY UPDATE:
Guggy is doing great now
I ordered UVB for him but it needs some time to come
Guggy is pooping every other day as he was doing before
His apetite is normal
And he is really active now
Sometimes he is keeping is mouths open because of MBD but he also keeps them closed so I think that is a good sign
Now only thing that I need to do is to put some weight on him
Here are some pics of him that I tooked today :
Wow, he looks so good, much better. He is happy there, you can tell.
Is he eating a lot better now also? I am sure he will continue to improve for you.
How does he like his new UVB light?
Keep us updated on his progress.
That's great his appetite is much better. Since he has been having some trouble, I wouldn't
recommend letting him fully brumate right now. It's ok if he slows down some but he still
needs his UVB lighting right now.
