You need to get some hides in there. Those analog gauges need to go. What are you using to heat, and how are you monitoring it. You also need to give it something larger then a pinky. It'll take small mice at least.

i currently have that set up, because i simply dont have the money to upgrade after paying bills and what not, in the next few days ill start getting more. I do have hides, uth, large water dish, overhead lamp i rarely have to use.

Aye I would deffinately move him up to at least a mouse hopper if not a rat pupor crawler. But I see the foil and hope it is helping mine is working great ATM got a UTH on a ranco working great

yeah, foil seems to be working great as far as keeping the heat in, and allows the heat lamp to be a little cooler, then it being maxed out (adjustable) i have the uth under her hide. next week im moving the food up a size though. not to bad for me feeding her the first time. stuck it in front of her and she got it instantly and ate it. im still learning.

I still remember my first feeding ever it was November of last year. My little girl was tiny only about 80 grams. I weighed her last weekend and she is almost 800 grams.
