Beau

Hi guys!

I am seeking help on an issue going on with my Sulcata, Beau. I noticed a few days ago that he wasn't eating much when it was feeding time. I also noticed that he was kind of digging in his cage. I thought maybe he wanted to come out, so I took him outside to get some fresh air. We are in the process of re-homing him outside as he has outgrown his current enclosure. While outside, he kept making a sound like air escaping from a balloon. I figured he was going to the bathroom. He kept doing it, like every 2-3 minutes. Nothing was coming out. I thought perhaps that action along with him not eating could mean he is constipated. I tried looking up information, but wasn't able to find a whole lot. Could you guys help me? I read to let him walk a lot and give him long soaks, which I have been doing for the past two nights. The only thing that has "come out" was a little liquid looking substance and some white kind of stringy stuff. I read about giving him Mineral Oil on his food, which I tried to do, but he isn't eating right now. What else can I do? Thanks everyone!

Almost sounds like it's dehydrated. How does it's nose look? Any bubbles coming from the nostrils?

Mizcreant,

I don't see bubbles coming from nostrils. Nose looks clear at a glance. He has been digging too. I doubled check that he was in fact a boy cause I thought maybe we ended up with a girl and she was laying, but he is a boy.
