I am sorry for not posting a new thread about this, thanks for the suggestion. I have a Sulcata hatchling that is just over 2 months old and I am concerned with his weight. I feed him a mix of weeds, lettuce of different types, rose bush leaves, mulberry leaves, cactus paddles, bermuda grass, and fescue grass. He is kept in a 50+ gallon tote with a lid while I keep the temperature between 76 and 82 degrees on the cool side for him. As part of a teaching project with my 6th grade students I have been taking him to school with me during the week and putting him into the same type of environment there. The problem I am facing is that for the last 4 weeks his weight has remained 80 grams. Length and girth around his center is showing growth, but not weight. Is this normal or do I need to worm the little guy. If worming is needed is there some natural or home remedy or do I really need to take him to the vet? Thanks for any advice before hand.
