So I have 27 2 week old hatchings, they have only started properly eating in the past week and I have only just started dusting. I have been bathing them daily and have been putting in as many crickets as they will eat in 10 mins. I have been offering greens once daily. Everytime I look into things there is different info and I feel like everything I am doing is wrong and I am so worried! If anyone could help me I would appreciate it more than anything!!!
So 2 of these dragons are acting super strange, bodies go limp and refusing food for the most part and head is dropping a lot. Yestarday I fed them both with calcium and vit dusted crickets and made sure they both had water.
I am now concerned that my whole set up is wrong! They have arcadia flood basking lights 75w and have the arcadia desert tube light and have a small heat pad for night time. I have a 3 stack vivariums that are 86.5cm length, 41cm high and 37.5cm deep. But now I read that the basking spots should be 10-12" away from the bulb, thats 25cm, the bulb itself hangs 16cm down so its not possible? What do I do? Current highest basking spot is only 10cm away from the bulb!!! I have reptile carpet down, have plenty of hiding spots and basking spots. Just need to know what I can do to make this set up as perfect as I can to make them as happy and health as I can! I am worried sick about it and feel like an awful person, so anyone that can help, honestly I would appreciate it more than you know!!!
Thank you in advance!!
