    My Best Night Box Design Yet

    I just finished a KILLER night box for her. I got a oil radiant heater and sheltered her from it. Also I made a cubby hole to slide her heat pad so she can't sit directly on it. I have a thermostat for both.

    Is this shell rot?

    I was told this is an injury from sitting in moisture perhaps sitting on her urine. Cirby is 8. I have been trying to heal this since the end of May. I am cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide after a soak, then Silvadine on it two or three timed a week. In June she had a 2 week course on...

    Cirby's shell

    She has grass and dirt outside. Inside her house one corner is a heat pad that I turned off when we found the lesion. One corner is coconut coir ( bed a beast) I put in a few weeks ago for humidity. The other two corners are painted wood. She tends to hang out there during our hot Sacramento...

    Cooking in her house

    Yes I want x rays. She did one before she pooped out the first impaction but not after to rule out some other thing that could be causing the problem and now here we go again. I feel that she should have labs drawn too.

    Cooking in her house

    I dug a hide for here in the yard so she can did. She went in for a minute or two moved the dirt around and left. It keeps moist because the sprinkles hit it. If I could figure out how to load photos I would show you her enclosure. I seam to have everything she needs. I met today with my...

    My Best Night Box Design Yet

    My sulcata had some breakdown on her lower she'll from sweat as my vet said. I have her heat pad off now and am afraid to use it. I want to mount it in the new box but don't want more shell problems. What do you think?

    Cooking in her house

    She was put on antibiotic shots. I'm not convinced they are necessary. Her lower shell got inflamed and broke down a little too. I think she's on them for that. I was given silva dine to put on the irritated areas. Not sure she needs the antibiotics so I'm going to talk to the vet on Tuesday. I...

    Cooking in her house

    Cirby my 7 year old sulcata has always liked sitting in her house in 100-112degrees instead of hanging outside under shade when it's in the 90s outside. It worries me. What do you think? This is the second week That she has had no energy, she has to be bribed with dandelions to eat and is not...

    Oh no! I think it's her jaw

    I have heard about the clicking but it's the not eating that I am worried about.

    Oh no! I think it's her jaw

    Cirby hasn't had any energy,hasn't eaten or pooped for 5days. After her bath today I got down low with her and offered her her favorite cacti. She was interested but reluctant to eat it. She took two bites and moved on. But her jaw is making a clicking sound I haven't heard before. My boyfriend...

    We usually warm her water but she has also shown us that she's not bothered by cold water.we also put a paper towel on her and keep it wet while we water her so she can absorb it. Still not eating but two small pieces of romaine,no grazing, no poop,not eager to be up but running around more...

    Thank you for for your replays. Her enclosure is all grass and orchard grass so it's hard to tell how much she is eating. She is on a heat pad and I am actively looking for a good spot heater and humidafer. I spray her daily and soak her 3-4 days a week. But she don't stay in long. It's a...

    I'm worried about Cirby. The last three days I have come home from work and found her in her favorite cubby hole in her night box asleep. No stool for 3 days and she's not eating her treats. I don't have proof she ever left her house. I took her to her favorite grazing site in the yard and she...
