Have had Bob over 2 years. He's gone from 47 grams to 2950 in that time. The issue is moisture level in his enclosure. At 80% it becomes unclean and buggy in a short time. Needs cleaning several times a month. Ive attempted a different course
of soaking him everyday for the last several
months. He has been very regular and his urine is clear of the chalky substance that would discharge at times. The pen is clean
now but the humidity is 50-60%, worried about shell problems.
He’s loved by all in the family but I fear we
may have health issues long term with the dryer environment. He Is eating a combo
of Mazuri pellets, timothy hay, organic wheat grass, dandelion and clover with an occasional addition of carrots and other vegetables. Not sure if we need to find him a new proper home or not. He’s healthy, active and loves my wife's voice. She treats him with Belgium endive and scratches his head a couple times a week.
We got him when the whole family, 3 generations, went to an exotic animal show before the pandemic. Learned later of the challenges encountered in caring for a Sulcata.
All advice appreciated.
