Wrong bulb in fixture.

[Swsrzr]

I just realized that the bulb I had in the fixture over our Ambalobie hatchlings was not the UVB but just a plane 6500k bulb. They have been in there for 20 days like that. Should I be concerned? Should I give there food a dusting of calsium with D3?

Without UV they've been unable to convert D3.
I'd wait a few days.
