Sulcata Health

[Spikes Dad]

Hello
My Sulcata "Spike" is 2 months old and he does not want to eat today and he has had the white uric acid discharge 4 times this week. He usually has a voracious appetite but not today I put some spring mix in his enclosure this morning and 5 hours later he still hadn't touched it. Just checking to see if this is common or if I should take him to the vet?

Thanks Spikes Dad

So he's off his food for one day? I wouldn't get concerned just yet. It could be anything.

Soak your tort daily for a good 20 minutes to make sure he's not dehydrated (see soaking tips in my sig link below)

If he goes a couple days without eating then you may want to figure out if something is wrong possibly with your husbandry. temps etc. Make sure you do the daily soaks "that was suggested above" so your sulcata doesnt get dehydrated...
