Just checking....

it has been pretty warm and humid recently, this has made my horsfields much less active only up for short periods so this could be having an affect too (they are less active if they are too warm).
Try leaving him for a day or two and see if he does move on his own (I know that that would be a hard thing to do!)

I would get him checked for worms to be on the safe side. I dont think that's him settling in. Have you heard of wormcount.com? It costs £6.50 and you order a sample pack online then you send them a poo sample by post and they e-mail you the result. I sent mine one day and got the result by 4.00 pm the next day. It's a great service.

Taking him to a reptile vet for a check over, will he do a worm count on him??

[Merlin M]

most likely yes he will, take a nice fresh sample with you and ask!

[Talula]

I got one from the same place and could see worms in the box he came in so will definately need worming

[Mighty_Quinn]

Don't have an appointment until next Friday....will he be ok until then? He is eating when did you get yours Talula?

I checked his poo other night and didn't find anything obvious.

[Talula]

Sure he'll be fine till next week. I got him last Friday I was helping my neighbour get a tortoise they've been going on about for ages but they didn't really want one they enjoy visiting mine instead so turns out he's a present for my 30th! So cute but I have a sulcata and a hybrid so poor hubby was asked to get me another table and enclosure quick! Naughty neighbours lol but he's sooo cute! Taking a little while to settle in but he's getting there if you want to get him wormed sooner worm count are really good and I'm not sure how good it is but theres a wormer that you can put in their bath.

So ours are siblings!! Think Bruce75 also has one from the perth store aswell. Small world

Going to give Quinn a bath tonight and check his poo again, will order a test kit from wormcount as not sure i'll be able to get home early enough from work next friday to give Quinn a bath and get a sample for the vet. Will try.


Any photos of yours on here? What have you called it??

[Mighty_Quinn]

Quinn is also a 30th birthday present - from me to me!!

[Talula]

Oh really how funny, lovely birthday presents for us then! Will be nice to see how they all grow! My (nearly) 4 year old son wants to call him Bob after spongebob! He came in the post so didn't see what he was fed there, when you went in was there any food out at all? He likes dandilions and clover but anything else he's not interested in. It maybe just the long journey and the move that's given his a loss of appetite.
