Oh my goodness how terrible! I don't understand people! I did a ton of research before I got my sulcata and I'm still researching info almost daily! I'm sure they'll be much happier with someone who cares about their well being!

Welcome!

Yes that's what I thought too. I got him about a week ago and that's the age the lady told me he was. He was kept in sand eating fruits and veggies and had just a heat lamp. I've completely changed what he's used to and is now really seeming better than what he was when I first got him.

Today for the first time Bowzer ate dandelions and covers from my yard:) I let him out of his enclosure for supervised roam around the yard time.

Thank you all very much for all the help and advice I've received though this site. My new little guy Bowzer seems to be doing much better.

I went picked up a year and a half old baby sulcata...turns out the lady who had him was keeping him in sand and feeding him nothing but fruits and veggies. I've offered him kale and tiny cut ups of squash and he refuses to eat it... looks like I'll have to ween him away from the snacks or do...
