Thanks for that. I've ordered new bedding and a thermometer.
At least it seems I've got the right lamp...!
Any chance of a photo of an ideal enclosure?
Thanks again for your help. X
Tuck is 11cm and the enclosure is 90 x 45 cm.
Planning to build an enclosure in the garden next year but thought they were too small to do it this year.
I'll get a thermometer and check the temp.
This is my set up. Criticism welcome. Water bowl (which is sloped), bowl for chopped food and a slate that I put leaves on. In the sleeping area there it's a heat pad on the side. I have the lamp on from 8am till 6pm.
Thanks for your replies. Really appreciate it. X
I have read them and thank you. Feeling very guilty and tearful at the moment. Another animal has died due to ignorance....!
I purchased two books when I got them but no where did either of them state not to keep them together.
Wish I'd found this site earlier.
Please help. I purchased two spur thighs a year ago and one has just died and I don't know why.
They are/were 3 years old. They have had times were one has been eating more and growing faster but the other has then caught up.
The one that has died hasn't eaten much lately and was sleeping...
