New owner of a baby sulcata! Super excited but kinda concerned. I weighed my new baby on Friday and he weighed 48g and now not even two days later he has put on another 5g now weighing 53g. Is this at all a normal growth rate for a baby sulcata? Also he has not been moving on and off of his basking rock and the only time he does is when I mist his tub or to eat when I A.) put fresh food down or B.) wake him up while misting. Could this be a sign of sickness? I know he's been pooping and peeing as he did his duty in my hand the other day. Any advise on why he is so.... sluggish (even for a tortoise)?
