I have a 3 month old sulcata, his name is Benji, and ive had him for about 2 weeks. He has always eaten regularly, and is a really active tort. I noticed the past few days that he has been quite lethargic and this morning he barley ate a thing. He was up really late last night with me while I was wrapping presents and was wandering around my living room. Is there anything that could be wrong? or do I just have a lazy little tort..?

:/

How is he housed, what are your temps and where did you get him?

if you let him wander around the floor, its probably too cold or he may have earen something he shouldnt...

Yes I learned the hard way about keeping my sully to cold when I was getting him out because he got a URI. Then we had a $340 vet bill and had to give Cooper 4 shots. Plus you have to make sure there isn't anything on the floor he can eat because they just love to eat things they find laying about. I hope he recovers from whatever the problem is, good luck! :)

I don't have a thermometer in his casa..it seems quite warm and he seemed to still be eating, just not as much? He was away from his heat lamp for about 3 hours or so..could that be why he is out of it?
