I live in indiana. I just acquired a couple young sulcatas. One I am told is 5 years old. Measures 6". Has some slight pyramiding. stools are a little hard. Seams to be healthy otherwise. The baby on the other hand has me worried. It is about 2 1\2". Dose not want to open "her" eyes. Is lethargic. They were fed some sort of tortoise food that looks like pelleted fish food with 19% protein!! Fruit, vegetables, and iceburg lettuce.I was told the the littlest one was given baths but. Looks to me like she is suffering from malnutrition. The were also housed on wood chips.they did have a heat lamp but no uvb bulb. First thing I did was soaked the baby. After about 15 min she started to open her eyes. I replaced the chips with hay. I want to make sure the will eat. So I got some collard greens and some pumpkin. Going to also get some quality tortoise good to add to the mix. Any help you can give will be appreciated. I am truly worried about the baby.
