Hey everyone,
We got our little guy jörmungandr about a week ago and I was just wondering about how much a hatchling sulcata should be eating per day. Hes moving just fine I've noticed him eat little here and there but not very much.
Just for reference I'll tell you the average day. We live in west Mississippi so it's about an average of 90-95 degrees and plenty humid. First thing when I get up I soak him in luke warm water every morning for 20mins and prep his food. He gets a mix of grasses dandelion, turnip, collard,and mustard greens and some succulent. I don't give him all of that every day. I mix it up between them and I sprinkle ground up egg shells on his food every 3rd day. Im only asking because I don't want him to become sick or weak. I know he's just getting use to us so we try not to mess with him to much. I come check his enclosure temps and sunlight every 2 hours just to make sure it's not too hot. Please let me know if it's normal for them to eat very little in the beginning or if the is anything I can improve on. Thank you so much for any advice.
Sincerely,
Casey and jörgi
