So far she's been active and eating a whole lot! She's had a few soaks and seems to enjoy them as well. Her enclosure is below, I'm going to the nursery for some plants sometime soon.

Anyone who owns any of these two and wants to make a recommendation? :)

I'm unable to get a good quality photo of the bumps and foot injury at the moment, but like I previously said the bumps look very similar to...
I have a hatchling Sulcata that I rescued (not sure of age, he's only 7 cm in shell length) who's not been acting himself for the last week or so. I've had him for nearly a month and he was fine up until a few days ago.
