hi everyone! So I’ve had Herbie for 6 months now so he’s about 1 year old and I took him for a vet visit because he hadn’t pooped in a while (they said they knew what they were doing but obviously not). He ended up pooping on the way there but we did a check up and I’m afraid the vet hurt him and that was 3 weeks ago about. This is the 3rd time I’ve caught Herbie sleeping and I’ve noticed him going down to the bottom of the cage (so I’m thinking something might be going wrong with husbandry) but I’m not sure if the vet did something wrong and he’s stressed or if I need to change some things!
Temps are 75 at the bottom of the cage and basking temp is 81-83. I use calcium without d3 everyday and use calcium with d3 on the 1st and 15th of every month. For food he gets gut loaded crickets which I give mustard greens, collard greens, parsley, carrots, blueberries, and sweet peppers. I also give him silkworms when I have them available (this recent shipment they all died). I give him super worms as treats (only 1 in his bowl with about 4 small crickets). Or I give 3-4 silkworms just depends on what I have that day. Misting machine is on for 2 mins in the morning at 8 am and again at 7:50 pm for 2 mins. Fog machine I have going from 10 pm to 8 am (I can’t seem to get humidity to stay up so that’s why it’s on all night). I have a bioactive enclosure so it’s sort of difficult to tell when he’s pooped so I’m not sure the last time he went so I’ll be on survey to get a good look.
