Да, это хорошая лампочка и марка. Я указал расстояние и место установки для бака. Если вам нужна помощь с установкой лампочки в баке, дайте мне знать, я могу помочь.

if the grid is a thick screen it needs to go inside the tank that thick screen will block 30% of the UVB rays -- you can use long cable ties like this from Home Depot or Amazon https://www.amazon.com/heat-resistant-cable-ties/s?k=heat+resistant+cable+ties&tag=exoticpetnetw-20 ---offer water on her nose see if she will lick - watch her poops for dry crusty urate that will be a sign of dehydration along w/ dried out dark poop

если сетка представляет собой толстый экран, его нужно разместить внутри аквариума, этот толстый экран будет блокировать 30% лучей UVB. Можно использовать длинные кабельные стяжки, например, такие, из Home Depot или Amazon https://www.amazon.com/heat-resista...ies&tag=exoticpetnetw-20&tag=exoticpetnetw-20 . Дайте ей воды на нос и посмотрите, будет ли она лизать. Следите за ее испражнениями на предмет наличия сухих корок из урата, которые будут признаком обезвоживания, а также засохших темных испражнений.

Я пробовала давать ему воду, он не пьёт. Я купала его 15 минут в тёплой воде.

I have a lid like this, now the lamp is lying on it. The distance to the point where he likes to sit, I indicated in the photo. Should the lamp be hung inside? Will it not be hot for him?

You can try the UVB on top of screen get a piece of basking decor directly under it 8-10 inches I recommend 8" - watch his behavior - the UVB bulbs do not emit heat like people think -- keep offering him water once a week - if hes eating salads rinse them before serving he will get some moisture that way but still offer the water-- I recommend getting him off the sand babies get impacted too easily on sand and replace w/ some textured NON adhesive shelf liner cut to the size of the tank - its easy to clean w/ vinegar / water 50/50 -- insects cannot get underneath if its cut to the size of the tank - you can find the liner at Walmart or your local home improvement store

Вы можете попробовать УФ-излучение поверх экрана, положите под него декор для прогрева на расстоянии 8-10 дюймов, я рекомендую 8 дюймов, понаблюдайте за его поведением, УФ-лампы не излучают тепла, как думают люди, предлагайте ему воду раз в неделю, если он ест салаты, промойте их перед тем, как подавать, так он получит немного влаги, но все равно давайте воду, я рекомендую убрать его с песка, так как мальки слишком легко падают на песок, и заменить его на текстурированную НЕклеящуюся подкладку для полок, вырезанную по размеру аквариума, ее легко чистить уксусом и водой в соотношении 50/50, насекомые не смогут проникнуть под нее, если подкладку вырезать по размеру аквариума, вы можете найти подкладку в Walmart или в местном магазине товаров для дома.

сколько кальция мне давать ему в день? он съедал 10 сверчков в день, все они были в кальции

Thank you ! And sorry I'm using translator for this page so sometimes I post in Russian occasionally. I have reptile mats (photo) , can I use them or shelf liners work better? Unfortunately he doesn't eat now. I forced him to eat 5 crickets today. Usually he eats 10. His poop was normal last time , no signs of dehydration thankfully. I just read about MBD and what can cause it, and I found out that maybe I was wrong with his supplements. I gave him calcium with D3 every day, but maybe it was too much and he has overdose now instead ? Is that possible ?

He needs the D3 every day ONCE per feeding on his insects- lightly coated - how many times a day are you offering insects - he should be eating at least 20 crickets per feeding the correct size - not too big or they will impact him -it is possible to overdose them on calcium but he is young and needs the calcium D3 now your UVB is going to help him absorb / synthesize the calcium and grow strong bones - I would go w/ the liner those reptile mats look like they are hard to clean - I would put the UVB inside the tank that way we know he is getting the correct UVB - use heat resistant plastic cable ties - you can find them at your hard ware stores -

 

[FireBD]

Thank you so much! I used to offer him 5-10 crickets twice a day (morning and evening), but I'll increase it .Hope he will start to eat himself soon. So I should add calcium with D3 one feeding and second feeding just calcium no D3?

I was just scared of him getting to much uvb if lamp go inside but if it's okay - I'll do it , thank you!

So now I can only wait for him getting better with proper uvb and force to eat proper amount of insects everyday/ force to drink once per week. And give him bath once a day?

No baths- offer water once a week - is he eating salads? Calcium d 3 once a day on the insects lightly coated - once his surface basking temps and uvb are on par his eating should increase- he only needs calcium d 3 once per day - this will change once he turns a year

Isn't 12% too much? he likes to sit high

No..12% is the correct uvb for bearded dragon. 6% is for other reptiles, like some snakes. Bearded dragons are desert dwellers...they need 12% to thrive. Yes, the zoomed Reptisun t5 10.0 is the bulb he needs!
