Thanks for the tips! I will stop the handling, and I will also add in some more stuff this week to help him hide better and feel more comfortable. I have also tried heating up the mice with a heat lamp, but maybe that’s not a great idea, so I’ll give that hair dryer method a try for sure! I have the heat tape cranked up to the max that the thermostat will allow at 104 degrees, but these plastic cages really impeed the heat from fully coming thru, so eventhough I have it set so high, the surface of the basking spot only gets up to 87 degrees. Hopefully the radiant heat panel does the trick. Since I’m new I sadly don’t have permission to post pictures yet. I will as soon as I am allowed to post attatchments. (:
