Hi,
I've a leopard tort and just got two new redfoot hatchlings. They're eating fine, active, pooing while being soaked and seem generally ok except for a small abnormality with one of their shells.
The weird thing is one of them is sleeping sideways so front and back foot on the ground the other two up against the wall. I was worried about organs slipping or some problem so I moved him into the hide as he was asleep. He then moved back out to the same position......Little menace. He has done this a few times now. Anyone any advice? Is this behaviour possibly dangerous to this wee ones health? Should I just ignore it?
Thanks,
Rachel
