I received my juvenile sulcata "peanut" a week ago and he ( no clue as to sex yet) seemed to be doing well. He is eating and active. He pooped a huge log on his second day home but hasn't since. The top of his head looks scalier than before and his eyes don't always seem right. Not really sunken but less pronounced than I remember. I have been soaking him in warm water daily for about 10 minutes and then he gets restless and tries to climb out. Then he is really active and eats. Than he proceeds to burrow into his favorite corner near the heat or UVB light (both are in the same area). He does not drink any of the water while he is soaking and I am concerned about dehydration.
He is housed indoors in a tortoise wood tortoise table. Warm side is 85 degrees and cool side is 70. He has no interest in his hide box (70 degrees). I put him in and he goes right back to his corner. I don't know if I should be worried or not! I have a habit of worrying too much about the living beings in my life. By the way it is cold here in Reno so outside is not an option at the moment.
Thank you for letting me ramble and I look forward to "meeting" all of you!
