Diarrhea cure?

[Pák]

Hi!

I have a 1.5 year old sulcata 11" 2600 gramms.
He is still inside in his semi closed semi open enclosure (6x4 foot)


Temps inside 80+F, basking ~95F, outside 70+F.
I moist his enclosure twice a week but is pretty dry dou to the semi open setup.
I will move him outside when the spring arrives.

Diet: dandelions, clovers, many other weeds but i dont know the english names of them .
He also get once a week a big salad mixture with calcium and once a week some europe mazuri like pellets.
I started to give him a month or so grass hay mixed in his foods, but he is not tuching it yet.

Also gets 1 hour soak every morning.

Now the question:

His feces become lose 2 days ago on sunday. Pooped many times. And it continued yesterday as well. His tail is always freshpoopy since then. He even had a poop during the first night, and this morning his tail also was poopy, but did not pooped during the night.

What shoud i do?

For tomorrow i close him inside, moist the enclosure and skip to feed him.

Besides the diarrhea he is completly fine, also has huge appetite in the past month.

This is a very cute area he has!! My off the bat advice is something you’re already doing by closing him in, I’d suggest closing it at night too for the humidity if you don’t already. Outside of that let me call in @Tom for some advice

Thank you for the advise @Littleredfootbigredheart. Yes i close the enclosure for the night, but only for the temps, but i will moist a bit around his sleeping area as well to get more humidity as well.

What is the temperature? And where?
It's possible that full food digestion isn't taking place

Update day 3 morning: His tail was not poppy this morning, wich i took as a good sign, but in the soaking water he released some very watery feces.

I will do one more day with him closed inside the ebclosure and no food.

Actually some advices woud be cool :/

Fun fact i also got heavy diarrhea since yesterday...

You can take a stool sample to any vet lab to check for parasites (protozoans, likely) if diarrhea persists. Any lab with a microscope can check for flagellates and worm eggs in the sample.
