Unfortunately danny is getting worse and he hasn't eaten 5 days now and he has lost many grams! He can move a little good but he has tremors in his walking and the only thing he wants is to hide and sleep! He poops and pees though! I contacted with my vet and tomorrow I will go at my capital! I wonder if it isn't from the calcium injections or je ate something poisoned from outside or something bited him! I will inform you tomorrow!

Oh no, please keep us updated. How's Wilma doing? With her care conditions being the same I'm surprised that Danny is struggling so much, poor guy.

How's the temp control in his enclosure?

In the enclosure is 22! Should I increase? Wilma she eats something and she moves good!
Hope it all turns out good for him!
Thank you! Any idea what could be? No eating and tremors in his walking? Maybe he ate something outside? Before the injections was moving normally? I hope its not to late! 😥😥

22°c during the day would be too cold, but around 20 is fine for nighttime. Given that Danny is struggling, it will be important for him to have consistent temps during the day. You want 35ish under his basking light and 25 on the cool side, with substrate he can dig into to regulate his temps.

Is the warm side staying at 35 during the day?

Has he been able to pass any of the stones yet?

He pooped 2 days stones! I take him outside to take sun but the only thing he wants is to hide ans sleep! I tried so many times to feed him but nothing! The enclosures are inside house because at night is too cold!

That's great that he passed two stones!!

What about the temps and lights in the indoor enclosure? Is the warm side staying at 35°C during the day and 25 on the cold side?

I put him back at noon and his shell stays 25 degrees until night

Does his enclosure have a warm side for basking that stays around 35°c? If not, he needs a warmer enclosure to heal and thrive.

25 is fine for the cool side, but it's not warm enough for the warm side. If the whole enclosure is 25, that could be contributing to him not getting better.
