Good evening all,
My lil kid Squirt is just about three months old and doing well thanks to all of you who educated me and took time to answer my questions and guide me to keep my lil kid healthy and happy.
My questions are these: My 100 watt Repti Sun basking light didn't last long so I need to replace it.Should I get another one or is there a better choice? I have a Repti sin 10.0 UV UB bulb (long light like the long fluorescent bulbs) which are working fine. I do have a CE I use at night but for now 24/7 until I buy a new basking bulb.
My second question: His daily diet consists of a mixture ( I change mixtures daily)Anything soaked is in filtered tepid water.Kapidolo Farms (all soaked) cactus chips,hibiscus,rose hips.One soaked Mazuli Tortoise diet one Pellet(these are big)for forest and tropical species tortoises,minced cucumber,zucchini,yellow squash,red,orange green pepper and various organic baby lettuces and greens.also small pieces of alfalfa from alfalfa cubes.His absolute favorite is the Mazuli.I sprinkle on his food 3x weekly Rep-Cal Herptivite and Rep-Cal with D-3.These make him constipated so that is why 3x weekly.I give him a 1/16 of a tsp. each.There are no feeding directions for hatchlings. I called the manufacturer and sent an email for feeding hatchlings but no one contacted me back. According to Mazuli it has all the vitamins and minerals nothing extra needed other than fresh vegetation.
When I got Squirt he weight 0.65 I weigh him every day.He now weighs 1.30 oz.He will be three months July 22
