Hi I'm new here, I've had my two year old baby horsefields for about 3 months now. The one has recently gone slightly puffy . Some people told me maybe it's because she didn't have a uvb bulb so I went and brought her the right one which she got better but she tends to go puffy when I soak her and she hardly poos and wees when I soak her now. She also has a heya lamp aswell. Just don't know what's wrong with her !

Don't know what a heya lamp is. They need to not be housed in pairs, can make them sick or dead from the stress and bullying
They need a uvb tube florescent bulb and an incandescent basking bulb each that reaches 95-100. The over all temp needs to be 70-80 during the day and can go into 60's at night.
Post pics of the enclosure and be sure to separate them.

Heya may be a typo for heat lamp. Otherwise, I have not heard of that one either.
