I am sad to say they did not make it. My vet called on Friday afternoon and said that the two had passed. She said it was a combination of pneumonia, gout, and dehydration. She suspected that the gout was a cause of poor diet high in protein from the breeder I got them from. The pneumonia was...

I soked in baby carrots...he didn't drink any of it. I used Gerber also, the organic kind. But hopefully like someone said he did absorb it some of it. I went the vet yesterday. She hit me with a lot of stuff. First she did not like that I fed mainly spring mix...she has a sulcata of her...

Got a vet appointment. Can you expalin soaking in baby food carrots?....Put baby food in a container, water it down, stir it up, and place him in it?

Thanks. I will try the higher temperature...I have them in a Christmas tree storage bin. How can I get him to eat? He clearly has no interest. I have tried feeding while soaking, pumpkin puree, tomato, strawberry, he has never touched mazuri. What else can I offer? What would a vet do...

I don't think it is an issue of hydration. I spray it down with a power sprayer every day. It is plenty humid. I also soak them every day. I am reading a little about hatchling failure syndrome...any thoughts that it may be this? I have had concern with them from the begining about their...

Powersun UV 100. I lightly spray the mulch daily or every other day with a power sprayer. Basking temp 93, hot side 88-90, cool side 75, night time 70.

One of my sulcata hatchlings is sick. I have not seen him eat in a number of days, he is not as active as he was, and has had his eyes shut for almost a week. 90-93 & 75 degrees. Cypress mulch, 2 hides. Fed a varied diet of spring mix, romaine lettuce, chicory, mustard greens, etc. with...

What grocery do you go to that has dandelion? I went to a whole food store and asked but they didn't have any.

Thanks Meg. How else can I mix up their diet other than spring mix? I don't want them to keep the urates due to the mustar and turnip greens but I don't want to only feed the spring mix...I throw in some hay but they only eat that by accident. What else do you give yours that is high fiber/low...

Thanks for the tips. I don't believe they are eating their poop. I watch them too much and have not ever seen any remnants of any either. I will get some butternut squash tonight to try and jump start them back on track. I soak them religiously in warm water every morning, about 3 hours...

I recently posted about my new sulcata and received great advice. I have another question today....I feed them spring mix daily with a mix of mustard & turnip greens, with calcium and hay sprinkled in. They eat it all but have not seen they poop for well over 10 days. I soak them every morning...

Where can I get a calcium supplement without vitamin d3? I have RepCal calcium with d3 as well as RepCal vitamin supplement. I have been using the calcium with every feeding, but have currently stopped. I have looked for a calcium without vit d3 but have not found it. Where can you get fresh...

I went to Home Depot today to get a slate tile...I also looked mustard greens in the garden area. After explaining to a worker what I have going on he thought that it could grow in my enclosure on the cool side. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? The plant doesn't have any...
