    Nothing appears swollen. Typically the bath does the trick. But the car ride might as well.

    I'm not sure where the food lamps came into play in the conversation. But I got thr basking lamp and uvb lamp

    No worries, I got the lamps that were suggested not food lamps.

    At what point should I be worried she might be impacted? She has a very tiny poop of a woodchip yesterday. I did a warm soak tonight and that usually has her going multiple times and she did not go at all. She did release the white stuff she normally does. Also still not eating. She seems a...

    Smart. I figured I will set it on the chicken wire like her lamp is now. It has enough support and does not seem to overheat

    She was eating coconut husks and I have found she is eating the fir bark as well. I tried to just get rid of the coconut husk at first.

    I will watch out for that. I have been watching the temp in her enclosure carefully now. Hopefully the no substrate will not last too long.

    I could do that. I would have to take it all out because I do not have another temporary spot for her. That is a good idea.

    Are there any tricks to get her to stop eating the substrate. This morning I noticed her eating it again. I attempted to hand feed her some of the Dandelion and a flower but she had zero interest in that. I am hoping all of her new supplies come in within the next few days so I can start...

    I am testing the nighttime temp tonight. She has been pooping regular so I am not concerned yet with impaction. I have ordered a second enclosure to add room for her. I will work on switching up the diet to better meet her needs. She will have them available when she feels like eating again...

    How long is it safe for her to go without eating? She has eaten some of her substrate, but nothing else no matter what I try. She will typically eat something I hand feed and she won't even do that.

    At night it is 74 in the house is that warm enough for night time? How many watts for the basking light? How many do you need of both the basking and uvb tube kits?

    The lamp is uvb, uva, and heat. The humidity is about 60 to 70 percent. She does like to dig in this substrate typically. I just ordered another crate to add on for her

    Thanks! I realized after I posted the first I did it in the wrong spot.
