Thank you everyone, after this post I put pokey back into his old enclosure under the MVB, and he perked right up and ate the most I have seen him eat for days; it was only cucumber for now, but I am going to try and transition him back to his normal diet tomorrow, or over the next few days. I...

I do, I will try putting him in as much extra light as I can this weekend

Oh, and I also spray into the viv multiple times a day, and have sphagnum moss in all of the sleeping areas. How do I measure the UVB?

I have a temp gun, a thermostat to control the temps and they are on a timer, right under the bulb is 100-110, warm side is high eighties to low nineties, cooler side is high seventies, I check sometimes twice a day. The strip lights are the highest UVB we could buy, and are only around 30cm off...

I posted on here a while ago regarding my Sulcata tortoise Flower, who wasn't doing so great, (probably as a result of being dehydrated at the pet shop I bought her from) and I received some great advice on how to best house my more tropical torts (closed chamber set up). Since setting her up in...

I was using a red bulb - my cool side is high seventies to low eighties, the warm side, high eighties to low nineties, right under the lamp is high nineties, and night time temps of high seventies.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of the best light to use for maximum amount of UVB? Since moving my babies into closed chamber style set-up's, I have switched from a wonderful mercury vapor bulb to a long fluorescent tube and a separate heat bulb. How much UVB should they be getting -...

I really hope not. I suppose all I can do is wait it out. Are the temps okay though - high 80's to mid 90's during the day at the warm end, and high 70's to low 80's during the night, as well as a cooler high 70's at the other end? I don't want to lose him...

Hello everyone; I posted quite recently about my little baby sulcata, Flower, being raised the dry way by pet shop breeders, and how she wasn't eating or very active. I gratefully followed all of your advice, and.... she made it through Christmas and has really blossomed. She now has her own...

Thank you everyone!! :) <3

Okay, thank you :)

Hello! Thank you :)

Okay, I will check again tonight, but I think it is around the 70's, like the cool end during the day. Is this too low??

I have just ordered a vivarium, and will get the bulbs and coco noir tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your help, and I will be sure to be posting up pics soon! :)

When I set up the new enclosure I will be sure to use just coco noir, I think then Maro2bear :)

That looks perfect, I will look into getting a closed chamber place for her to live, and Crash, but not together. I just don't want to lose another baby by not being up to date with my husbandry. Any idea of the clicking noise too? When I inspected today, I found that the bottom part of the beak...

Thank you Phebe121, and yes, I have had Crash for a few months, so have done a lot of reading on the care sheets of sullies Maro2Bear :) The hot end is in it's 80's and cooler end high 70's. I soak them both every day and give a diet of chopped dandelion leaves, fresh grass, rose leaves and...

I already have the new baby that is a few months old, but yes, I think you are right about Puddles Tom. I do not have a closed vivarium, but a large guinea pig, plastic run, with a mix of soil and play sand, two water bowls at either end, three hides, fiddlesticks and a food slate. I have a...

This is the new little one, Flower

Thank you :D
