 HELP!!

I have a baby yellow belley and he’s very weak. His shell has turned brown. He is eating shrimp and won’t eat any pellets. I think he’s lacking V-A. He has a heat lamp and a flourescent lamp that the store said was ok. I need advise ASAP!!!! I’m not sure he will make it through the night!

 HELP!!

You need a uva/uvb light-sounds like you do not have one. At least he is still eating.

 HELP!!

Hold out on the food till he eats what you want him to eat. Vitamin A is orange and yellow veggies and fruit. Squash, carrots, melon, mango etc.


If your not sure it’ll make it through the night the issue is very bad, a vet is the only thing to save him.
