Hello! I have had my Sulcata, Squeak, for almost a year. I got him on January 12th of last year. I have some questions regarding his diet and care from this point on, and have some concerns about his overall health. If you guys could maybe help me out that would be very appreciated!
Ok, this following paragraph will contain a lot of information, but from what I can tell you guys need that to give me help. So here goes! Squeak is almost a year old, and the same size as he was when I got him. That's where the concern comes in. He is kept in an open-topped tub. He has a UVB bulb and a 150watt heat bulb on his basking area. All of the temps are in range for what is suggested on this website. His humidity is low, but we have 2 humid hides to try and allow him the moisture he needs. We are in the process of building a closed cage for him that will be done around January for his birthday. He gets soaks daily for about 30 minutes. His diet is various vegetables chopped finely and mixed together, topped with chopped up hay and grass for extra fiber. He also occasionally gets pelleted food. He never eats more than a couple of bites a day, and I am wondering, how much should he be eating a day? He is a little under three inches long and is the size of a hatchling. I can post a picture in a little bit when he gets his morning soak (he isn't awake yet). I have an exotic vet in my area and am also wondering would it help to take him to the vet? Thank you!
