Hi everyone,
I posted a thread recently about how my Powersun MVB had stopped working after only 2 months. Since then I have been using a basking bulb and taking Torty outside in the sun. Since the MVB died Torty has been coming out of his hide everyday. He is a 4 month old Russian and I posted before about how he always stayed burried and I was having to dig him up to soak him and get him to eat. So I was really surprised so see him come out on his own the other morning, and he has come out everyday since. He'll eat and lay out under the basking light and stay out for hours before retreating to his hide.
Has anyone had experiences where their tortoises didn't like the MVBs?
I feel horrible thinking that the bulb was the reason he was hiding. What would be the next best bulb for UVB? I've had the tube UVB light before but I know that some are better than others. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
