Yeah I think the 24 x 24 x 48 would be good for her. Unfortunately she is not doing so well. She will not eat even with an appetite booster. She is not drinking either. I am still spraying her and giving her water through a small syringe but she is not taking it. She sits in the pot in her cage...
So, good news... she got to come home yesterday! The vet said he has done everything he can for her. If he was to keep giving her calcium it would have killed her, which is kind of ironic since the lack of calcium could have killed her too. Although he did not do a fecal exam or an x-ray, he...
I just changed the UVB about 2 months ago. I will make sure I make a note to change it in about four months. I did have her a laying bin before she was taken to the vet. I got a call from the vet and they said that she is doing a little better. She has gotten color back in her and between today...

Thank you for helping. I know they aren't all social animals but it seemed like she was more relaxed in my hand than the cage. Do you know how I can keep the humidity up since it is a screened cage? I know now that the mealworms are awful and can cause impaction which is why I switched her diet...
