Chuy was found walking down the road, he weighs 21lbs, I haven't gotten measurements yet. We have secured a portion of the yard for him to safely roam while he isn't being watched. I have a few questions. If anyone has time to offer advice.
As of right now I'm feeding Chuy organic foods only, no pellets. He gets to free roam the grass here, is fed a Romain heart, a handful of baby carrots, a squash, a cucumber, and baby spring mix daily today he received cut apple fresh green beans he is being fed through out the day. I am trying to find orchid hay to add to his diet and am getting calcium powder tomorrow. How often should I be feeding him?? He loves to eat.
He has sustained an injury to the bottom portion of the edge scute, it is partially broken. Should I make him an appointment right away?
He is active, eating, soaking in warm soaks, defecating a lot (not runny) no mouth breathing, no limbs moving to force breathe but I've noticed his eyes are moist frequently. Not his nose. Is this normal?
His portion of the yard has a dugout (hole to go down into) as well as several temporary hiding spots, how much space should we allow for our buddy?
We are planning on adding a cement pool, advice needed and welcomed!
Is a 21lb sulcata big enough to make it through Texas weather. Planning on building a small house fill it with his hay and add a brooder heater. (Not a heat lamp) but only if this is a good idea. I'm in San Antonio.
I soak him 2× a day for 20 minutes or until he defecates is that too frequently?
he is still settling in and I'd like to let him do so with as little intervention from me unless I'm bringing snacks 😂 he is starting to respond to my voice and knows it means food 😂Help me help Chuy live his best life!
