Thanks everyone! I am going this morning to get a different form of UVB. my friend said that the tubes are better than the bulbs, and when looking at them I saw that there is either the desert type (high output) or the tropical type (medium output) available to buy, which one is better for...

Thanks! That's what I will do :) Yes.. The shop I bought her from gave me a starter kit which included a heat mat and a coil bulb, I have ordered a new tube bulb and my dad is going to install it for me when it arrives (luckily he is an electrician!) I took the heat mat out once I read the...

Hi, Tallulah my 1 year old horsefield has had a sore eye for just under a week now. I had a problem with her basking lamp and she didn't have appropriate heat for 3 days last week, (technical difficulties which has now been sorted), and one of her eyes has slightly swollen eye Lids. She was...

Thanks, that's good to know! Sorry I am new to this - hence why I love this forum! How long should I wait before I should expect to see some? As in how long can they go without passing any? And should I go back to once every 2 days again?

Also, how many days should I give it before I should be concerned? She's so small her normal poos are really hard to spot anyway you see

Thanks for the advice! Not had one done yet no. Is this worth doing? Any idea on approx cost? :) She has just wolfed down a dandelion - you'd think she's never been fed! Thanks

Hi, I have had my Horsefield, Tallulah for just over a month now. She is approx. 1 yr old. She usually eats a combo of dandelion, curly kale, clover, rose petals, watercress, cress etc (things from the approved lists online), and when I don't buy from the supermarket I pick outside and rinse...

Hi, I bought a baby Horsefield yesterday (Tallulah) after wanting one for years! I bought her with a complete starter kit (glass vivarium, basking lamp, UVB bulb heat mat, and terrain) I got her home and set up her vivarium. The temperature in the basking area is 90 degrees Fahrenheit. (my...
