Health questions about my sulcata baby :(

[Yvonne G]

Your little baby needs all the real sun time it can get until his shell starts to harden. 4 or 5 hours a week might be ok.

I am sitting next to them with a plastic container. Just a half hour/one day, that okay?

What is the temperature where you live?
As much as an hour a day or at least a half hour a day plus calcium 2 to three times a week would be the first way to help dark soon.
Then change your bedding out to something that holds moisture would be the second thing I would do soon.
Get a good uvb bulb for inside like a powersun bulb, those work great.

You should really find a vet. He probably needs a calcium shot asap. Too l9ng without calcium, uvv, and humidity. We have a vet section here on the forum by state. Please look at it and find one.

Try soaking him in warm water with baby carrot food. Do you have a balcony that you can leave the plastic bin he is in outside?

How do you think about the UV Light :

I think its good and cheap for me.

That style bulb causes eye damage and you already have some eye issues I would not buy that.

 

[lismar79]

I know $ is hard for a student but since your baby is already sick please spend the extra money and get a really good bulb. This will give you heat and uvb. A lot of us use these and love them.
