My 7 month old sulcata seems to be sick and I've done much research on what to do. He is very lethargic, eyes always shut, plastron seem soft, and his eating has been reduced. When I soak and hand feed he will open his eyes and will eat but after that he goes back to his lethargic way. I do soak in baby food. Carrots mostly. His substrate in his enclosure is coco coir and peat moss. I put calcium in his food for when he does eat, and I ordered some liquid reptile vitamins too. I ask heard tums are good too, but I haven't tried them yet. He is also very small for his age! I don't really know how much a vet will cost but from what I hear it is expensive. I thought I would ask the experts for some help QUICK. I have helped him for 2 straight days now. I really would like for him to get better. Any ideas or miracle advice. Thanks
