: The current setup is very warm.>>>

Make sure there is a heat gradient around 86-90 in the warm end, but there must also be a cooler side 72-75.
Sulcatas max out and become inactive if the temperature is TOO high.
Night time temps can be lower as they need a cooling down period, 70-75 overall is fine for overnight.
Soak them 2-3 times a week for around 10 minutes, you can also provide a shallow drinking dish. A flat, small tupperware lid, or a plastic top from a Sunny Delight container for tiny torts.
and offer a wider variety of food.
Try endive, chicory, romaine, escarole, red and green leaf lettuce, Hibiscus flowers ( red), and opuntia.
Offer a mixture of leafy greens daily with ground Timothy hay and clipped grass mixed in.
