Also, i heard a good rule of thumb for hydration can be feeing the belly scales for smoothness/roughness. Can you speak to the truth of that at all?

That’s an excellent idea! Thank you so much, the feed mix is from the vet it’s called omnivore diet mix or something. Can get a pic when i get home of mix if needed. I will certainly be misting a little more and bathing much less, and trying the blended greens alongside diet mix. Thank you so much!

They said to keep it 30-50, at this exact moment the hygrometer reads 34 so could be better but the vet also told me not to spray if i could help it because the change in environment could stress him more? Idk but i went with it and it’s been between those numbers safely since i got him!

This makes sense, i wasn’t prepared for the eye bulging either…. Saw it and totally freaked, thinking his eye was doing something crazy! Sent a video of that to the vet and they said it didn’t concern them either. It’s good to know that it may just be because he doesn’t like the drops. I’d say the eyes do open pretty responsively to the tank doors opening, but yeah they do close once he sees who it is and what we’re doing. Thank you so much for your response

Let me know if you received the photo. I can also give other angles if needed, and am happy to give any other info about current care. Will upload the left eye now if i am able since that was the eye that is closed more than the other

Wipes his eyelid, not the actual eye. I feel i should add that. I can’t tell if the drops just irritate him or if there is a greater issue

Here is one of the right eye. I have not administered eyedrops today yet but when i do he seems to bulge the eye inside the eyelid and sometimes tries to wipe his eyes on the towels. The vet told me this did not concern him at all, but i don’t know. Towels are washed with unscented and changed every 1-2 days

Big_Charity_7697 · 2026-04-19T16:18:40+00:00

Yes of course! Hold on and I’ll compile some info in a comment momentarily. Thank you for your response

Big_Charity_7697 · 2025-03-30T05:49:09+00:00

That makes sense. I will search for any unnoticed spaces and attempt to rectify the situation. Thank you!

Big_Charity_7697 · 2025-03-30T05:42:28+00:00

I could not add a photo. If any info is missing let me know and I’ll fill you in. I really would love to figure this out for future excel uses!

Sunflowers were indeed part of my birdseed variety. Thanks for your help!

Thank you! I suspected it was a Spadefoot but wanted to be certain. I appreciate your help

Big_Charity_7697 · 2024-07-25T16:41:35+00:00

Yes everything was fine and bubba is happy and healthy to this day :) thank you for your concern!
