Hatchling Sulcata Troubles :(

[crocididdle]

his eyes look a little sunken in, he closes one at a time or both and they stay half way for a while and not very attentive. took him out for his morning soak and he didnt move once. even after when i laid with him and tried him off, he only pooped again after he did in his soak and never moved. i put him back in his cage and he is very lethargic... any helps on this one?? temps are very normal at about 100F at his basking spot, humidity is 80% - 95%, his warm side is about 90F and the cool side is about 80F - 85F. Any help on this one at all??

What kind of UVB ?

Does he have any nasal discharge?

 

[crocididdle]

a tube uvb, and no nasal discharge

I personally dont like the tube lights, I only use Zoo Med Power Sun bulbs. The only thing I can say is if your worried then find ya an exotic vet that works with torts. I wish you the best!

Is he eating at all? You could try the baby food soaks. Puréed carrot baby food in the warm soak water. You might want to also try what's in this thread http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-41739.html
Good luck, hope all is well.

I hope that you find out what is wrong with him. I'm so sorry, You should really take him to the vet but it sounds like he is not doing well

doesnt sound good.. :-( when did this start? sudden or slowing down? when did he eat last?

This may be time for one of those energy soaks. Does anyone know what thread the formula is? I k ow it includes Gatorade. He definitely needs to have soaks in something more than just warm water. Sunken eyes means that death is eminent. Something has to be done fast if this baby is to live.
