10 years old**

Good Afternoon I took in a undersized male couple of years ago, apparently 10ths old (size of 5yr old) Went over all treatment with the vet, around £6k in vet bills , nothing found so it’s been put down to poor care. Happy to share report. Since then he has gone strength to strength very...

I have been using one in between two 150w floods to increase basking spot for a stunted sulcata i rehomed over a year ago. Made massive improvements and very active in the U.K. winter , but truthfully this could be because I built a new insulated shed. That said I do see him favouring it

I let mine have access all year round, tried to adapt many sheds never works, now i purpose build my sheds, keep them low profile and insulate the cavity’s with 50mm kind span. floor, walls and roof, lined with 18mm ply. to heat I use tubular heater for night temps, day basking bulb on...

I managed to get him into our vet last week , he has low white blood cell count going for a CT scan tomorrow. Cannot seem to find much information regarding cell count but possibly linked to MBD?

I use habistat dimming thermostat on my day basking bulbs attached to a on/off plug for light cycle

I had a look on sulcatafood.com , they do a dwarf elephant grass that I would not mind getting but cannot find it in the U.K.

add a tubular heater you can get them with built in thermostats , a lot of people on here seem to use radiant heat panels but not been able to find them in the UK

I have basking lamps in my sheds with tubular heaters for ambient heat. mine will roam in all weathers then return back to the shed

I have been speaking to John at Arcadia, they are still in use, I am finding a lot of reptile equipment is out of stock maybe people bought Thermostats , and basking bulbs along side toilet roll at the start of COVID.

Little update: been a couple of weeks , confirmed as a male. Weighed Freddie when I got him came in at 3.6kg just under 8 lbs really stunted for an apparent 10 year old sulcata. Shell is in pretty good condition , he can now lift his plastron fully off the ground walking is a lot better...

Stuart (but is female) just destroys anything

agree, @Tom any chance you have any other posts, like to see other people’s builds

Thank you Tom I do not have a lot of experience with MBD But what i have read , sort out environment & diet she will make progress and hopefully build strength. below is a video trying to walk, you can see her trying to regain balance, would like your opinion. https://gofile.io/d/L9gjb7

metabolic bone disease , I’m a very lazy writer and abbreviate far to much

it was kept in a heated shed, I was told She was not very active, makes me think the temps where wrong as she has been none stop since having her. makes me think with just basking bulb and the U.K. weather she would of had minimal UV exposure speaking to the couple diet seemed ok mainly fresh...

Good evening I have recently re-homed a ten year old Sulcata , I have others around the same age and all I can say is how small it is. I have noticed the last 3 days how poor she walks, firstly I thought it was just the one leg but looks like it could be all of them. she is very active and...
