I bought my sulcata from underground reptiles before reading reviews :-/
At first the little guy seemed okay although hes never been a big eater unless outside.
Now though hes wanting to sleep a lot, only opens his eyes outside and they seem very watery, his shell is feeling softer so much so that I can feel when he pulls himself inside if im holding him, and I really dont think hes grown at all in the month Ive had him.
I soak hin for 30 minutes a day and have recently started the carrot baths in hopes of helping him.
I have a ridculous amount of tortoise blen food and give him calcium 3 times a week he also has a cutle bone but he just lays on it.
He has a uva and uvb light and a ceramic heater for night time, he has a coconut coir substrate, he has a hiding spot, a basking spot and a water dish inside his enclosure..
Is there anything I can do? Does this sound like hatchling failure?
My daughter is going to be crushed if he doesnt make it
