Hello,

Well, since he has been on meds, it is most likely he is very dehydrated if his urates are THAT hard. I highly suggest getting at least 2-4 ml's of oral fluids into him daily.
Does he eat vegetation a regular basis?
What are you taking the temps with in your tank, a stick on type of thermometer, a digital probe or a temp gun?
