i have a little sulcata. don't know his age for sure. i was told he was 5 months when i bought him a month ago, but he looked much smaller than that. anyhow, he has had firm poo since i've had him until this past week, i noticed it was runny and very bright green. it had been firm and dark green and very easy to clean out of his substrate, but now it's runny and harder to clean up.
he eats spring mix. he ate red leaf lettuce only when i first bought him. that's what the previous owners fed him. i gradually changed him to spring mix and he's been fine for 3 weeks until just this past week. i soak him once a day for about 20 minutes - sometimes twice a day.
i have also noticed that he's laying under the heat light a little more than he used to.
hoping he's not sick. i did order some mazuri tortoise diet to add to his food, but the place i ordered it from sent me water turtle food instead, so am waiting to get that returned so i can get a little mazuri started in his diet.
any suggestions are welcome. just wondering if eating all of that spring mix means that poos will be runny most of the time. and wondering about him under the heat lamp a little more than he had been before.
thanks!
