Hi everyone,
I have an an ivory sulcata named Pluto (hatchling) who hasn't seemed to be eating in the past couple of days. We got him on Thursday and he ate on the first day, but I haven't seen him eat since. We're feeding him, along with our other hatchling sulcatas, mazuri and mixed greens daily along with a calcium and vitamin supplement.
The temperatures in the enclosure are normal for them. I researched by reading the other threads and Tom's care sheet, and I'm following all of the correct steps to take regarding food, lighting, and hide boxes. I have him soaking now in some water and squash baby food to see if it stirs up his appetite.
Does anyone have any advice on how to make him eat and also to help with his slightly puffy eyes?
Thanks!
Monica
