yeah...that light you said you were using that only gives off UVA is only good for psychological purposes. UVB is what you need for calcium. that is why he is twitching. try to keep him/her on insects as long as you can before giving pinkies...even if its occasional. although he/she is not taking the fruits and veggies now keep offering them and eventually he/she will try some. and like the previous poster said...keep dusting the food every day with a calcium and multivitamin supplement.
