We recently acquired a baby sulcata for free from a pet store that wasn't taking proper care of him.
His name is Maturin.
My boyfriend and I have a roughly 10 year old female who is doing great! His mom also raised them for a very long time, so he knows quite a bit about them and their proper care.
His eyes are swollen shut, and he is not eating on his own. We have the proper temperatures, substrate, and habitat for him now so we're hoping that will change soon.
We are giving him a few drops several times a day of oxbow fine grind critical care and soaking him 2-3 times a day in a mixture of warm water and midly sweet Pedialyte per the recommendations of the exotic vet in our are.
My main question right now is that we had a trip planned before the store gave him to us, and it is too late to cancel, we are leaving in 2 weeks.
We need to take him with us so he can be soaked and fed, but it is at least a 3 to 4 hour drive where we are going, and I don't want to him to be without heat for that long.
Is there a inverter you suggest for plugging into the car for his lamps or should we get a battery pack for them?
How should we go about this. We plan on bringing his habitat with us so he can stay in it at the cabin we are staying at.
Just needing the best way to transport him in the car without him being cold for too long.
Thanks in advance!
