    Sulcata Eye Emergency

    Hi everyone, I got home about an hour ago and found Hubert had passed away. I'm probably going to take a day or two off from school, I feel completely devastated. :( But thank you all so much for helping me while he was here. It's really been appreciated and I wish you all the best. xx

    Sulcata Eye Emergency

    His basking is 105, warm side is 90-95, cool side is 85-90 and night time is about 85. The substrate is moist coconut fiber. I used to feed him spring mix with calcium supplements, he also has a calcium bone but he doesn't really eat it. :/ Thanks! :)

    Sulcata Eye Emergency

    He has very high humidity, I mix in a few cups of water daily into his substrate and his glass is always super foggy. Thank you for the input, I'll try and take another photo when I get home.

    Sulcata Eye Emergency

    Hi, he had a bulb that looked like this, but I've kept it turned off since his eye problems started. Unfortunately he hasn't been eating or moving very much at all this week, I feel absolutely awful about it. :( I've been soaking him daily in baby carrots, water, and pedialyte. Is there anything...

    Sulcata Eye Emergency

    Hubert hadn't opened his eyes all week, and they finally opened a few minutes ago and he has a huge piece of dirt stuck in his eye. I've tried flushing it out with water and I got most of it out, but his eyes still seem really irritated and i"m not sure what to do. Please help!

    Update on Hubert

    He had a coil bulb over his tank for a week or two, but someone on here told me they were bad, so it's been off for a while. He hasn't shown any signs of eye irritation up until Iast week though, which is strange. All the local pet stores only have coil bulbs, so I'm planning on purchasing a...

    Update on Hubert

    Hi, thank you for the response! That is a great idea with the tupperware container. I'll be sure to try that once I get home, so thank you. :) It's been a rough week for Hubert. He hasn't eaten anything since Friday and his eyes have been shut since. (Almost as if they are swollen?) I'm still...

    Update on Hubert

    Hi, sorry for the delay in response. I thought I had posted this, but I accidentally left it as a draft! What a fighter Zeus is. Thank goodness you take such good care of him. It's amazing how much we can relate, our stories are almost exactly the same. (Especially the dead situation... I...

    Update on Hubert

    Hi Shaif thank you for the kind message. Hubert is doing a little better. He's started pooping again, and he even ate a ton yesterday. :) As I mentioned before, it's definitely a roller coaster with this little guy. He's still sleepy 90% of the day though, so I've been keeping a close eye on...

    Possible MBD in Baby Sulcata?

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I guess we're in the same boat here! As for Hubert, there have been a ton of ups and downs this week, but I still have high hopes for him. There have literally been days where he won't move an inch, to days where he runs all over the place and eats like a monster. I'm...

    Update on Hubert

    Things seemed like they were finally getting better for Hubert this weekend... I soaked him constantly in warm water, baby food, pedialyte... He even got up on his own yesterday and started eating without having to be soaked. I was so happy, I thought he was going to be okay. Today I woke up...

    Possible MBD in Baby Sulcata?

    Day 2 Update: I've had my eye on him all day today. He has been mostly sleeping, but he did, however, get up and eat some spring mix three times today, which is a lot more than usual. I soaked him in warm water twice for around 20 minutes, once in the morning and once in the evening. I also...

    Possible MBD in Baby Sulcata?

    Okay, thank you ): Oh, gosh I'm so worried right now. Right now he's eating (thankfully.) But I'll have to continue to soak him and pray that he makes it.
