Hello all,
I bought two 5 month old sulcatas in flea market, took them to an exotic vet. One wasn’t eating and opening it’s eyes since the day i brought it, but the other was super active and eating fine. They weighed 46 grams, shell length was 2.5 inches. I wondered if they really were 5 months?
After 2 weeks the one which wasn’t opening it’s eyes died. I actually bought a terrarium for them, arranged UV bulb and maintained 80 degrees temp. One week after the first one passed away, the active one stopped eating and opening it’s eyes, took it to a vet and they prescribed antibiotic injections for 6 days. I gave 3 injections, but still it died. Doctor said it had some infection. What did i do wrong with them, want to know this coz inplan to get another sulcata. What age sulcatas survive well as pets?
