: Congrats on your new tort.
: I would definately take it to a vet, better safe than sorry.
: I had a baby sulcata with a respiratory problem, (45 grams or so)it handled the course of antibiotics well.

: Babies are delicate, so if you suspect a problem, I would make a vet appointment for it, before it gets worse.

: Also what substrate are you using?

:using newspaper right now because I don't care for any of the store bought substrates. Might be going w/ bed a beast. Concerned about treating him because of kidney damage that antibiotics could cause...especially at his size.
