hmm well that would be the next challenge for me as you know that its not easy to get detail info like that from the breeder.. but will try..
ohya the seller where I bought my indian star told me that my sully possibly got an mbd
is that also possible the mbd disease can kill the torto Tom?
Hi Tom,
yes its make sense to me now..
we plan to buy another Sulcata, so maybe its better to buy the Sulcata that weight more than 80gr to ensure they already in "safe" condition..?
pls advise
Hi Bambam,
your statement above realized me that probably he got other health issue than just an RI, because my little guy seems never past 52gr.
I started weighed him when my digital scales arrived last nov and he is 49gr. I weighed him again every four-six days and fluctuated only 2-4 gr. but...
his last poop I found was yesterday after 2 days not pooping. no white urates. and as I mentioned he is lost appetite, but will eat weeds if we put him under the sun in the morning, unfortunately there was no sunrise this last two days.

Thanks Hutsie & Wellington..
