Sulcata not using one of his back legs
Posted: 30/11/2016 by Sarah0511

Please can anybody tell me what is wrong with my Sulcata 😢

I recently noticed he wasn't using his back left leg when he walks 
He tucks it up in his shell. I haven't witnessed him hurting it. He still eating and drinking as normal and still looks himself. 
When he lays down he takes his leg out its only when he walks. 
Thanks in advance 😊

Hello Sarah,

If it continues for more than a week, seek veterinary advice.

Meanwhile find your nearest 'exotic' vet.

Regards, 
Tom
