Well hello everyone, sorry I havent written earlier, its been manic here. I did what you suggested regarding the babyfood, and on monday he managed to take a little bit of pumpkin and squash puree and also apple puree, doesnt like being fed via the seringe but he took some, thats the main thing I guess. Gave him a
bath (didnt enjoy that much either!), only 10minutes. The next day, he started to eat locust (he refused to eat them up until now) and today he has finally shedded the last bit of skin on his head which had been stuck on for months. His diet is more varied too, he eats greens everyday, mealworms (not as many), locust and the odd cricket, and every other day, we give him water via the pipette which he laps up. Has 2 to 3 bowel movements a day. He s quite lively now, jumps about in his vivarium,knocks on his window to get attention, its amazing to see the change in him. Should i still worry about a slight impaction? I feel he has turned a corner this week, all the advice you gave me worked and i am eternally grateful for that! Regarding the light and heat, well the uv light is turned off at night but the basking light turns on and off all the time due to the sensor which monitors the heat in the tank. Will look into the ceramic heater but at the moment neither of the 2 beardies seem bothered about it, they both have dark and cooler places they can hide in if they want to get away from the light. Take care and thanks again for everything
