Ask Lafeber

Question:

May 19, 2020

Room temperature


I’m fairly strict on diet and daylight hours but I have one who laid eggs in December and then got really ill from hormonal issues. She is better now but has been hormone implant in January and now started nesting behaviour. Any other modifications I can make? Is temperature a factor which should be addressed? She nests with her cage substrate so not easy to remove and I am careful not to stimulate any way or react to signs of regurgitation.


Answer:

Hi Stacey,

I’m sorry we didn’t get to your question during the May 8 Webinar, but Dr. Lamb did answer live during the May 15 webinar – please view using the link below.

In some cases not keeping your house as warm can help. However, since she is under Vet care and had hormone related illness, it is best to follow your Vet & Dr. Lamb’s advice.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
