    Growth stunted sulcata :(

    Ok I will start moistening it. How often should I do the baby food soak? I think he needs them.

    She said he was severely stunted. She gave me some rep cal calcium and is putting calcium in with the fluids. She said it was most likely from how we were caring for him. I feel so bad I didn't realize he wasn't getting what he needed. But it could also be a genetic thing. We are trying to fix...

    They are not the long tubes so I guess compact. The ceramic ones are coil.

    Growth stunted sulcata :(

    Growth stunted sulcata :(

    My sulcata is 2 years old now. He was given to me as a gift and I really wasn't too sure about how to care for him. I did some research on the Internet when I first got him. And I thought he's been doing good. But I was wrong. I took him to the vet today. He has bruising on his plastron and it's...
