Help! Something wrong with my sulcata!

[smorales]

I will

I know this sounds stupid, but Make sure you rinse him off good after soaking him in baby food, otherwise it could cause shell rot. I hope your baby improves, keep us posted, fingers crossed for you both x

 

[smorales]

Ok

Treating the symptoms is one thing, but baby sulcatas rarely get sick or have any problems if they are housed and cared for correctly. Most breeders and stores do not house and care for them correctly, and then advise their customers on how to do it incorrectly too. I think you should be examining WHY this has happened. Discovering and correcting the problem will often help the tortoise fight off and recover from the symptoms.

Please read these and see where your husbandry might be off:

After reading through these threads, come back and let us know where your problem might lie.

I re-read and saw another red-flag. What do you mean "energy saver bulb"? Are you using a florescent coil type bulb instead of an incandescent one for heat?

What are your four temperatures? Warm side, cooler side, basking area, and ambient at night?

 

[smorales]

Its a halogen mini lamp. The warm side is low 90s cooler side is mid 80s basking is high 90s at night its stays around high70s and low 80s

Check your internet connection.... I've never encountered this problem; whenever I have a computer problem I do something similar to this (depending on the problem):
1- shut down computer
2-turn off wifi
3-restart computer
4-turn wifi on
5-hope it works
6-if it doesn't I call a computer guy...
Can you be more specific? Is it a mistake in the website or the computer? Have you encountered similar problems in the past?

 

[smorales]

Im able to read it now. It was just the internet messing up
