Stitch Is Impacted Again...

[jkeeney1]

Once again Stitch has become impacted. There is no substrate and we have him on a schedule for feeding now. What else could we be doing wrong? We have been forgetting to calcium dust the crickets recently, could that be it? Could it be that i am not using a recommended UVB light? Everybody was very helpful when he became impacted last time, i hope everybody can come through again. Thank you.

is the bottom of his cage lined with repi carpet?
Can you go over all the items again such as temp taken,etc
Did you get a NEW UVB light or do you still have a ReptiGLo (and if so coil, or tube)

It may not be impaction but some MBD symptoms showing if you are not giving the calcium at regular intervals. Are you getting the dragon outside at all?

Temperature of cage --basking SURFACE, HOT SIDE< COOL SIDE
What are you feeding stitch and are the crickets SMALLER than the space between his eyes.

I am sure there is more i forgot to ask again. Try some applesauce mixed with i think it is olive oil and mix in a small amount of calcium with it also.
