Our Sulcata is about 20 years old. We got her when she was just a handful. She is now well over 100 pounds. She has a huge enclosure with a heated house. Usually in the Winter she comes out to eat, walk around and goes back inside. This year it has been a whole different adventure. Winters in California are mostly low 50s sometimes low 40s. It's wet and muddy but she has some drier areas. She has never been a problem, until now. Lately she wanders in to a corner, burrows in to the leaves and stays there...in the cold and rain. I have to get my son to carry her back up the hill and put her in her heated house. In the morning she has wandered off again. She does not respond to hands in front of her face where usually she would retract in to her shell. She has hardly eaten anything in over a week. She usually loves the colored pellets and zucchini. Now, only a few bites, while mostly walking right over the food bowl. I understand that white poops indicate dehydration but she has plenty of water available although I don't know if she is drinking it as it has been raining. She acts like she has dementia. Wanders off, forgets where she is going or where she is. She is a beloved family pet and I am worried.
