Hi
I'm a new Sulcata owner
Muffin is the name of my 3 week old baby sully. Baby weighted 51g a week ago when s/he came home and today weights 56g.
My husband built Muffin a closed chamber enclosure.
Basking on the right side with a water bowl
Food is located on the left side loft
Humid hide is right under the loft
And CHE is also located on the left side
Humidity 80%
Basking 102
Humid hide 81-83
Since the enclosure is not very big (50x15"), it doesn't really have a low temp area...the whole enclosure temp is at 82 and up .... to 102
Muffin sleeps a lot. S/he is most active between 6-9 pm... And then goes into the humid hide (most time I send her in and she stays) around 9:30 pm and comes out around 10:30am...
Start moving and eating a little bit and then more sleeping on the loft food area or right on her/his food plate (kind funny)[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]
Muffin gets to go outside and enjoy sunshine a couple days a week
Soaking 30mins everyday
I also try to spread water on her shell couple times a day
Diet so far : grass, weeds, Opuntia Cactus, Hibiscus leaf/flowers, rose leaf, pumpkin leaf/flower, and some mazuri
So my questions are:
1. During the day, Muffin rarely go basking or visiting the water bowl. s/he pretty much stay on the loft also where the food is all the time. Is this ok? The loft temp during the day is around 90
2. How often should sully have b/m? Muffin first got home , she pooped once, sometime twice a day. And then.... No poop for 2 days... Today she pooped again while soaking.... kind loose (can still see a shape) and floating on the water. Is the normal?
3. Is the weight gain ok? 5g in a week, it's like 10% weight gain....
Sorry, I'm a newbie so I do have a lot of questions.... Just trying to give my baby the best set up possible. [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
