What to do in the meantime?

This week was so pose to feel good since it was the last week of school, but instead I have some stressfully problems . I either have a hatchling with MBD or has a broken leg . I noticed it one day which wasn't showing the limping problem the day before. I have ordered some calcinate syrup and should arrive by Monday. My next problem is that my whole hatchling rack that contains 2 adults and 16 babies stopped working because I wasn't carefully enough when I decided to take the tape off and staple the heat cable on instead . I stapled it wrong and now the 39 foot cable doesn't work I am going to order some heat cable today and hopefully it arrives by at least next Monday. In the meantime I have all the tubs in the rack inside my HUGE future cresty cage with a heat lamp on and a heat mat to at least keep the temps in the 80's at night. ALL last night I was awake trying to figure how to keep them warm and thats the best I came up with, so any suggestions to help me out on what I should do on the meantime would be great :main_thumbsup: .
for reference heres the link to my huge cage

OK I just ordered the heat cable and apparently we still haven't added the credit card to the paypal account so we have to pay thought eCheck which will take till June 11th to clear , but I did pay for 2-3 day shipping so it will arrive the week after the coming week.

I'm sure they'll be fine until then at around 80F.

I had a hatchling last year that suddenly had a broken leg, I don't know how. I kept an eye on it, left it alone and it healed fine. No lump in the leg and no limp in the gecko. It may not be due to a calcium problem, it just may have caught the leg, fallen somehow, or, if it's in with a clutchmate, gotten into a little fight.

yeah, I check all my geckos at least 2-3 times daily. I handle them I think way too much and I didnt notice anything the day before. The only thing i think could of caused a broken leg was the day before at night I helped it shed and I probably wasn't carefully and I might of broken his leg . I also remember dropping a baby ( cant remember which one) , but I didn't see anything wrong at the time:main_no: .
You all might be like WTF cant he care for leos , but I seriously just have bad luck at times and this is one of those . Thanks for all the replies and will try not to do anything stupid and be more carefull in the time being .

I have 3 strands of heat cable. One is a 50 watts and 2 are 25 watts I think. If you want to have a cool drive over to pick them up let me know.
