still dehydrated

[Bo_]

Our little pistachio is still dehydrated. we have a humid hide and the humidity is at 65%. I have soaked him a couple of times to see if that helps but it doesnt seem to do all that much. Also i noted tonight that he was very very active tonight(i did soak him) but i also soaked him last night and he wasnt nearly this active. I provide fresh water every day and the temeratures are 92 hot side and 84 on the cool side. Should i take him to a vet? im not sure if there is a vet near my appartment.

Thanks for the help, kinda a long read but im just concerned

how do you know he is dehydrated?

there are lateral folds on the sides of his body and members here pointed it out

Hi,

Have you seen him drinking? How close are you to trying feeding (Sorry if I missed that info in another thread)?

Hi,

I remember seeing the folds in a pic. But now I'm second guessing myself as they really should have gone away by now if it was just dehydration.

How far up his body do they run? Is it just the back third or so?

i have not seen him drinking..i go to school from 7:20-till 2:20 at the latest..he is scheduled to feed on friday

edit: the folds start sort of start mid way in his body but are mostly in the back of his body

Just because you dont see him drink doesnt mean that he isnt drinking.

Are you his original owner?

[Bo_]

yes me and LaFilleClochett are the orginal owners. I realize that he could drink that is why i posted what time i go to school. Also his tank is in my room and i try to keep it quiet so i try not to spend to much time in there

eating regularly?

[LaFilleClochette]

we've only fed him once, about a week after his shed.. (last weekend).it was a fuzzy and we were told that we could be feeding him 2 fuzzies- he's 55 grams (or was before we fed him). he ate the fuzzy quickly and hasn't been hungry since.
