How is your tortoise doing, @cait_lr? I also bought a new hatchling sulcata from Tortoise Town about a month ago, and I did not have the wonderful information found on this forum to guide me. My tortoise was also lethargic and not eating, worse over the last week. While I am in the process of creating a more suitable enclosure, tin foil has come to my aid and I am able to maintain temps above 80 and humidity above 80%. And my tortoise is much happier, seems to be eating better, and more active. However, given what Tom has said, I worry about the long term prognosis for my tortoise, and am expecting the worst, hoping for the best. This first month has been rough for him/her, and I wonder what the long term effects will be. I really appreciate the wealth of information on this forum, and if my new pet meets his demise, I know I will be much more prepared during round 2. But again, I'm hoping for the best.
