A few months ago I got a 3-4 year old female Hermanns from across the U.S. I have a 2 year old male and they have separate enclosures.
My female has had Undigested food in her poop and has been examined by the vet twice and had fecals done. It was determined that she was stressed from the changes.
She went from a large outdoor enclosure to a smaller indoor 2x6 enclosure. She was housed with a group of Hermann’s and now she is alone. She was used to hibernating/brumating and she won’t where I live. They are inside all winter.
Her basking lamp is 90-95. Cool is 70. When she paces and climbs we give her the run of the tort. safe room with access to a basking lamp. She usually explores till she goes to sleep then we move her back to her box.
I have been giving her bene-bac once or twice a week. It expires this month. Mazuri once or twice a week.
Cucumber occasionally to increase appetite. 20 min. oaks every 2-3 days.
She weighed 379 grams when I got her in July.
July- 379
Aug. - 369
Sept. - 348
Oct. - 329
Nov. - 315
What else can I do for her. I am really concerned. I have a great exotic vet who ownes a tortoise but honestly there are no herp. Vets in my area and I find more experience on here. Please help! Changing boxes is not an option at this point.
