Hi-
I'm worried about my Buddy. He seem like he is having some breathing issues. He is making a wheezing noise, and also he is breathing and exhaling kind of loudly. I have been soaking him daily for the last couple of weeks, prior to that He soaked 2-3 times weekly. I live in phoenix, and the weather has been beautiful so I put him outside for most of the day where he grazes on grass, hibiscus, weeds, petunias, and I also feed him mixed greens, timothy hay, etc... Today, as nice as the weather is, he keeps crawling back inside through my open sliding glass door and crawling towards his indoor enclosure. His substrate is a mixture of sand and coconut fiber bedding(is this the same thing as coco coir?) I have a basking light. I haven't been using the uvb light since he has been outside so much.I'm not exactly sure what the temp and humidity is in the enclosure.... Do I need to take him to the vet?
Thanks for any help!!
