I’m in Southern California. He lives in the backyard and I house him in a night box at night. With a temperature of 85 degrees. With an outside temp at 55 degrees in tha AM’s. I open his door about 8am and by noon it’s 80 degrees. I’m thinking he might be impacted by the the seeds of fallen...
Yeah, that’s why I sweep them all up when I’m home. The seeds are about as big as and apple seed or smaller. No matter how much I sweep, there’s a few that fall when I’m at work.
Thank you so much for you reply and help. I did forget to mention that he’s been eating guavas that fall from the tree. I clean up the falling fruit everyday. However, there are fruits that fall when I’m at work and he manages to eat them while I’m gone.
My 4 year old Sulcata is constipated. Probably due to being impacted. He walks around a lot and is very active. However, he has no appetite. I don’t think he’s eaten for a week and a half. I’ve been giving him warm soaks for 2 hours every other day. Are there any suggestions. Anything I can do...

Thanks,

No dogs or cats. Though there is a stray cat that drinks from my tortoises bowl from time time. There are squirrels during the day in the persimmon tree. There are raccoons, possums, rats, but they don’t come out til late and my Sulcata is already locked away. Once in a great while my Sulcata...
Wow, that’s cool to know. So you know exactly what type of weather we have here. Thanks for all the info. Really appreciated. He’s almost back to normal. It’s just since he’s been getting better, his appetite is almost back to normal. Though the other thing is, now I have to pull him out of his...
I live in Los Angeles county, near Compton. In the city of Carson. (Southern California)
He stays outside. Roughly 66ft x 72ft (backyard).
At night, I lock him in his night box that has an ambient temp of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I use a oil filled radiator heater on one side and he has a heated...
