: i have a baby sulcata and he seems really bored. the only time he seems active is when i give him food. i give him about 2 cups of greens a day. one in the morning and one at night. he comes out to eat then goes right back in the corner and sleeps. should he be more active?? any suggestions??

How big is his pen? Give him some things to climb on/over, barricades, things to crawl under, a few safe plants to nibble on, anything to give him some variety. Also mix up the arrangement of the obstacles often, it will keep him interested. Also be sure he has the correct temperature gradient to keep him active.
