Recently added a new sulcata to the family. He has his own separate enclosure from the other 2. I live in PA and drove to FL to pick him up. The enclosure where he was living in Florida had some type of shredded wood substrate. He was living inside. He has been in his new outdoor enclosure for 10 days and he is still defecating the substrate he obviously ate while he was in that enclosure. I don't believe he was intentionally eating it, but I have no way of knowing. My guess is that this substrate was sticking to the greens they were feeding him. My other concern is that he isn't defecating very much at all. He also spends what I believe is too much time in his hide box. He doesn't come out early in the morning like the other 2 I have, and same goes for the evening. He eats everything I give him, and roams around, but only if I show him the food. Is he just getting comfortable in his new habitat, and does it just take a while to pass the food he eats? He weights 200 lbs and is about 60 years old.
