Hello, new desert tort hatchling custodian here.
My hatchling appears to be much more settled in.
Eating regularly, exploring when new things are added to enclosure.
But I still haven’t seen it poop. It’s been nearly a week and perhaps I just can’t find any?? That’s my biggest issue.
Also, it’s started to sleep in its burrow for many more hours a day. Should I be concerned that these are related?
Should I wake it up and disturb for a soak or leave it to burrow? It always seems to drink a lot of water during soaks and so I am concerned about getting rid of those. Any tips on keeping the water warm too?
I’ve been trying to keep the humidity up around 40-50% but it’s challenging. Daytime temps between 80-90.
Bevause the hatchling is so new to me and I am unsure if it’s health and it’s obviously eating but the poop has absconded away apparently I can’t let it Brumate. So wtf. 😫
