Ok, before anyone starts freaking out, our RF has been spending warm days outside, and she DOES have a UVB light in her indoor enclosure.
HOWEVER, doing (a lot) of reading online, about half of the care sheets state that RFs get their D3 from their diet, and as long as they spend time outside in the summer, no artificial UVB needs to be provided. The animals shown in the pictures taken by the writer(s) of the sheet are healthy and smooth.
SO: I would love to see here how many of you keep your RFs with or without artificial UVB, and if you have any insights on the matter one way or another, I would love to hear them.
Our little rescued RF (just shy of 6" - not a baby, but not adult) was kept in a bone-dry, too-small environment before coming into our family, so at this point, ANYTHING is an improvement, but I would like to do things 'right'...
