I just went in to check on our little buddy and he looks off to me. He's bottom eye lids look dark and sunken. He's otherwise a healthy guy. He finished all his breakfast, pee'd and pooped this morning.
I soak him several times a week, he always has water in his dish, he eats, poops, pees fine. His enclosure temp is a little on the cool side (upper 60's, low 70's), but his hot spot is still 90-95 and the rest of that side in the 80s.
I'm reading that sunken eyes is usually dehydration, but I don't see how he could be.
We just switched his substrate from alfalfa pellets to top soil & peat moss. The top soil does not have any fertilizers, etc, but it's more of an organic potting soil-organic compost, sand, and peat. I don't see any sand though, so I don't think there's much in it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
