    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    Ahhhh, I see. I had forgotten all about the mazuri, mainly because I ran out. I used to feed her mazuri one day and spring mix the other, etc. I'll have to order more from Tyler, or I'll look into that salad style stuff you mentioned. She's a year and a half old, and pretty large for her age...

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    Tom, She has always eaten a spring mix, Fresh Express, at least once a day. I have no idea why she eats her substrate, but she eats her Forrest moss too. Any ideas?

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    Just an update - about a week and a half ago she finally cleared all her blockage, this final piece was unexplainably large..... But after a couple of days, she has come out of hiding and is a completely new tort. She's eating 3 times a day and is more active than I've ever seen. I replaced her...

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    I've always seen that cypress mulch was a great choice but apparently not for her. She has sphagnum moss in her hideout, doesn't seem to eat that, would that be a better, yet expensive choice?

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    So me being me and had a hard time watching her suffer, I grabbed a head set flash light and took another good look up her....butthole.... I could see exactly what it was. I took a round set of tweezers(not sharp or pointy) and opened up her rear end a bit and took another set of tweezers and...

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    30min soaks daily is her normal routine, I'll soak her for a couple hours twice a day and try the above, hopefully she passes. I've been watching her try over and over again for 2 hours straight now.

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    I thought about taking a syringe and shooing a little "lubricant" up there, could it hurt? The poor girl, I can tell she's miserable. She knew what I was doing with the tweezers because she would actually hold her tail out and allow me to gently open her poop hole to get a good look inside, it's...

    Help!!!!! My sulcata is constipated and can't poop

    Last week I noticed my 1 1/2 year old sulcata was having trouble pooping, not being able to poop at all. What she's done is taking a liking to her cypress mulch. She likes to eat it.... Anyways, I left out of town and had someone feed her and soak her but she wasn't eating at all and when I got...

    How many of us "tuck" our torts to sleep?

    I think Terra get's lazy or she just doesn't know yet. I have to remind myself she's not even 3 months old yet. A lot of times she just barely gets herself into her hideaway and then goes to sleep. I'll then move her to a nice warm and humid spot and she won't move except to stretch herself out...

    How many of us "tuck" our torts to sleep?

    Just curiouse as to how many of us "tuck" our torts to sleep.....:D What I mean is I'll check on Terra before I go to bed and I might scoot her over to a nice warm spot, or I may scoot some moss against her, or put some on top of her, and maybe even tell her good night in a soft voice.
