Hello

I see the babies trying to go through the wall of the enclosure every day, I am unsure if there is a correlation but it has been like this since I reduce the food quantity. They do this basically along the angles of the enclosure where the megaray lamps are. They keep doing it especially in the afternoon. I can see all this via the netcam.

I am worried that they are stressed for a reason and perhaps I can correct something. May be that’s not because they have less food. Temps are 30-32 under the megaray lamps and down to 20 degrees away from lamps. They also have a long UV strip running between the two megaray lamps (UV strip not on the photo attached though).

Any advice will help.

A photo of the enclosure is below to give you an idea.

Thank you
