hey guys I'm new to the site and am looking to the hive mind to help my little guy. I have 2 baby Redfoot torts, one about a year and another about 6 months. Both of which are very active and AVID eaters. Yesterday I took my one year old out to get some time away from their enclosure and noticed the bottom of her front right foot was white. I take them out just about every day if not every other day and never noticed this before. The younger one doesn't have any discoloration to him and the rest of my one year olds feet/ skin are fine so I am totally baffled as to what might be cause it. Some background info on my care/ inclosure. I built them a tortoise table that is 4.5 ft by 3ft, has peat moss mixed with spagnum and a little untreated soil. There are native edible plants for them to munch on. I also have a fluorescent UV buld set up for them by their basking spot which I used to have a couple flat rocks under but have since removed because I was afraid that she may have possible burned her foot on one of the rocks? They get fed every other day a mix of peppers, mango kale, carrots, zucchini, crushed tortoise pellets and a few freeze dried meal worms just to get a little protein in them and I dust that lightly with a good multivitamin. They are misted as needed and the enclosure is kept moist but not wet. Her behavior has not changed at all, she still comes running out of her hide box when you call her name looking for food and still tromps around her enclosure like her foot isn't bothering her at all. Any insight would be great, thanks in advance!
