I'm a little worried. My baby Cherryhead Redfoot tortoise hasn't gained any weight in two weeks. I'm a little worried. Could it be the cooler weather? He doesn't go outside but three times per day usually.
Baby tortoise no weight gain in 2 weeks

How's his appetite? Are you keeping him hydrated?

I soak him twice a day. He doesn't seem to be eating as long. I installed a new fogger a couple weeks ago. The spout comes out just over his food bowl. I moved it a little a few minutes ago so that it wouldn't go right into his bowl. Could too much fog in his food be the issue?
Who knows he may not like the fog directly on him.

i try to only weigh my red once a month i've noticed i'll drive myself insane doing it weekly or even every other week sometimes no gain some times he'll lose a couple points off the weight but if i weigh once a month it almost always comes up over what he was the last time
to much fog doesn't seem to be a issue to me as long as the temps are being met try moving anything close to his eating area around and if you can put a plant or something close to the eating area i've noticed my red will eat a lil run into the plants and come back out and do it all over again
also he could just not want you watching him eat lol

I do have some new plants for him. I'll do some rearranging.
The little guy is certainly perky. He's been doing lots of wandering when I take him outside.
