Hi, I just got a sulcata baby a week ago as a present and I have never seen her drink water during her daily soakings. Also, she's going on day 3 now of not eating. Yesterday, I managed to get her to eat two leaves out of the spring mix package. She's not lethargic or anything. She does move around (when she's not hiding) and she doesn't like her water bowl.
When I got her delivered, she was already pyramiding with some scratches on her shell and some of her toe claws were broken already.
Before I completed her enclosure, I had a temporary hide made of cardboard and she scratched that thing up. I hope she didn't eat it. I have her in an open enclosure but I do use the foil technique to keep the moisture in. The temperature inside is 75-80 degrees and is around 70%-80% humid, MVB in the morning and CHE at night. She does have a humid hide as well as a normal hide near the basking area. I do use sphagnum moss (I hope she doesn't eat that too).
I'm am lost. Later today, I'm hoping to try the baby food soak but my last option is the vet. I don't know if there is any behaviors I need to be looking out for. Can anyone offer me some advice?
PS, It was not an "impulse buy." I had done research on them before I even asked for one on Christmas.
