Has anyone tried these Zoomed Calcium bricks? They have opuntia cactus mixed into them. I'm assuming they're supposed to act like a cuttlefish bone in the enclosure. Has anyone tried them? Thoughts? Opinions?
So my sulcata hatchling, Tokka that I have had for a few months now, suddenly started becoming very inactive about 2 weeks ago. Then I noticed its shell starting to soften (top and bottom). Then it's eyes start to swell shut. It is no longer even attempting to eat. It doesn't move from wherever...
