Hello, I jus got my first sulcata a week ago. His plastron has been a little soft since we got him I have read that is normal given he is so young. Today I went to pull him out of his enclosure and I felt that the sides of his top shell are now feeling soft as well. I'm not sure what the problem. Is and was hoping for some possible insight. Just some background on how he is kept.
Basking temp-100
cool end day temp-90
Tank night temp-85
Humidity-70%
Soaks-twice a day 15 minutes each
I have a cuttlebone in his enclosure which he has yet to touch. I have tried putting calcium on his food but I have not been able to get him to eat anything I give him he will only eat if I put him outside and he can eat straight from the ground. If anyone has any tips or ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
