I came home today and my little guy was tucked in his hide not asking to come out. We have a schedule and every day mid day when we come home he comes outside for about 2-3 hours in his patio area for grazing and exercise. He’s very people oriented and comes to our feet and hangs out. We keep our underside patio tort friendly and he has his grazing area of grass, weeds, aloe and then we usually feed him hibiscus almost every day too. Today I had to retrieve him from his hide and when I put him down in the sun he just stayed tucked up.
upon investigation the only observations I have is he did not poop this morning in his enclosure. My husband said he fed him an entire paddle of cactus two days ago and then a half the next day. I’m thinking he has a stomach upset but I don’t even know if they have stomachs like other animals.
I have been soaking him now for about 20 minutes and will continue to do so for awhile longer. He’s not showing any signs of a respiratory infection unless it’s just brewing. He nibbled a little bit this morning but didn’t eat the food I left for him when we went to work. Any thoughts? How much cactus is too much?
He is 1 1/2 roughly and 1.5 pounds and 9x9.
Thoughts?
