I MUST REITERATE THIS IS ONLY FOR A MAX OF 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY HAVE STOCK Does anyone know if it is ok for me to use Orchid Bark or Beech Chip for my 1 year old horsefield? The usual pro-life substrate (picture below) I use, Im not able to get hold of at the moment as sold out everywhere -...

PS, that red light next to heat will not even go off while turning the dial

Hi all, Ive just gone to turn down my thermostat lamp and noticed there was no heat or light even coming from the thermostat. I usually have the dial anywhere betteen 80-90•F in the day depending on the heat of the room then down to 70 at night( as seen in picture). Everything has been fine up...

Yes I have changed the pellets since. I now use this and he seems much better on it

Thanks for advice. Think he just isn’t a fan of cucumber or whatever else it was I had gave him day before. Gave him dandelion leaves today and ate the lot after being bathed. Thanks again

Hi all, just a few questions. 1. My horsefield has recently began to not eat anywhere near as much as they used to and was wondering if they were setting themselves up for hibernation. Mine is only a few months old and didn’t believe they did this until they are a at least few years old. 2. I...

The UVB is a T5 24w light with 12% uvb

So I recently became the owner of a baby horsefield but I'm questioning myself if I have done the right or wrong thing by purchasing a vivarium rather than a table. Ive seen many sites arguing for and against and went to 2 different stores beforehand, one saying a well ventilated viv is fine...

Temperature throughout the viv is 80•F in the left hand side (cooler) and around 90•F under the basking bulb. At night i turn the thermostat for the basking bulb to 70•F and turn off the UV/B light
