is Arcadia Mini UVB Avian Light Kit enough?

[dawn23]

Hello,  Can anyone advise me on UVB lighting please. I bought a Arcadia Mini UVB Avian Light Kit to use on the rainforest Caracas my single bird was in.  I am now getting him a Hamberley and don't know if I need to get another light.  He will  still be the only one using it, so access will be easy, but will he get the right exposure moving in and out at will or do I need to light the whole width of the cage?

These are not something I’ve needed to use but my initial thoughts are that one light will be enough. I have looked into them in the past for other members and can’t remember ever coming across anything to suggest that multiple lamps are needed for larger areas, but …
Do you have a vet you trust? I would ring them and ask the question there, the vet nurses should be able to help you out.

Thanks for the response Hez. I will try the vets. Not sure how open with advice they are as I have only registered with them since getting Pip, but "nothing ventured..." and all that.

If you are prepared to ask the questions to give your bird the best life you can, they should be prepared to help you achieve this. I know vets are different in all parts of the world, but I’ve found most to be very helpful with their advice if you ask questions. As I mentioned above, the nurses themselves can probably help with a question such as this.
