(New sulcata owner and new member)
Hi. Recently I found a young sulcata crossing the street (after I drove over it). I went around the neighborhood to see if anyone was missing her, but no one came forward. She us about a year old (6” long”. Had been injured before in the past as the top of the shell has gauze marks and other telltale signs. She is in good health though.
However, in the two weeks I’ve had her I’ve tried everything under the sun to coax her to eat something. She has eaten a few blueberries and small grapes and a nibble here and there of lettuce and a pear, but nothing in the way of meaningful sustenance. She is hydrated, as I give her in a warm soak every morning.
With an AIrTag attached I let her run around as she pleases in the backyard. She’s always hiding under something. I’m guessing she may be eating some of the partially decomposed leaves there? Not sure. She does poop a little in her nest box and during the soak.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance. Jeff
