I recently bought a 3 months old sulcata. His movements is just like any other healthy tortoises. I have tried soaking him 2 times a day with warm water, vitamins and baby food. But nothing seems to works for him. i have never seen him eat or poop since day 1 i bought till now and its been nearly 2 weeks.And his still going strong and active just that his shell is slighly soft.He has minimum of 3hrs of sun everyday if not i have MVB and CHE in his tank. I usually switch on the CHE from 6pm to 6am daily and now is summer for my side. I hardly on the MVB as i always sun him. What could be the problem ? All my other baby tortoises are doing well eating well accept him. I kept him seprately from the rest.
IM keeping at temp day time 33degree and night I switch on the CHE which temp about 35degree.One fine day I' caught him eating poop.The poop wasn't from him its from another tortoise which I house him together with my sulcata, and its only house for.a day just to see maybe my sulcata wants company. But in the end I separated bother of them.He has not been eating since day 1 and that's about 2weeks already. I usually soak him twice a day with multi vitamins vita sol and baby food squash for.about an hour.But still doesn't show.interest in eating. But one thing that amused me was,his movements . Walk normal here and there in his play pen. So I presume that he's doing fine just that not eating and his shell is quite squashy.His menu are spring mix, hay, marzuri , T/Rex pellets but he just sniff and walk away. Brought him to the vet a week ago, went for xray scan, the vet told me that he still had food in his stomach.but he cannot poop that's why he's not eating. And there is no sign of urates that's what the vet claims and no sign of worms inside as he use somesome kind of thing to shaft in his anus.I'm getting worried day by day and its been 2 weeks since I bought him home till now.
