We have a large yard full of grass and weeds and other plants for our Sulcata, Toki, to graze in. We also have a large gated enclosure in the back corner for him which contains his heated house. We open the gate for him to enjoy the whole yard everyday.
Recently we put in an extended cement patio. For some reason, even with all this yard, Toki has chosen the cement patio as one of his favorite spots to pace back and forth. He still roams the rest of the yard as well, but will spend chunks of time pacing on the cement throughout the day. After reading other posts, I’ve learned that this could lead to problems on the feet.
I checked the bottoms of his feet today after his soak, and I wondered if he had some wear on the bottom.
Is this a problem enough that I should block the patio? Is there some kind of pad or something I could put there to fix the problem without blocking the area?
