Just picked up a baby Sulcata and he is not acting like he did when i first got him home. He is just over 2.75 inches long is housed in a rubber maid 50 gallon stock tank. I have one UVB bulb a 100 watt spot and a 150 watt heat emitter. The lamps are on 12 hours a day the emitter is on 24/7 . The daytime temps range from 102 in the basking spot to 82 in his hide. The night time temp ranges from the 85 to 76. He gets a soaking once a day and has fresh greens every day I feed him dandy lion greens with a bit of kale and some softened tortoise food and I have not seen him eat at all he is not walking around much as he did the first few days. spends all day and night sleeping. only wakes after his soak but goes right back to sleep as soon as he is out of the water. He had one stool last thursday but nothing since. Is this normal my local pet store told me he is fine.He weighs 49 grams right now just looking for some answers . Thanks
