I posted earlier about the care I was taking of my baby sulcata who is a little over 1 month old. You recommended that I get a cover for the cage, so I did. The temperatures have stabilized very well, and the humidity is also high. His cool side has only dipped below 80 once, when we had a night which was 40° outdoors. And even then it was 78°.
The problem is, he is not active. He rarely moves around or is awake. I know babies like to hide because they're easy prey. However, he has not pooped since I got him about 10 days ago. He pooped and peed the night I got him, and peed the day after that. But has not done either since then.
He was eating fine until yesterday, maybe a bit on the low side. I assumed it was because he was in a new environment. He does not like pumpkin, but I've gotten him to eat a few pieces of cactus with pumpkin on it.
I soak him at least once a day, but aim to soak twice a day.
How can I help him get better?
