New update This is the 62 days I keep my RFT baby, he is still not eating much and slept all the time. My set up is a UVB tube light, ceramic heat light, multiple hides, water dish, flat eating area, humidity 60% all time. The UVB light I use is in the previous posted, I open the light from...

I was afraid of that if I make the substrate more moisture, the bacteria will grow faster and cause fungi for my tortoise.

Thank you for your kindly suggestions, I will be working on more hide area and provide shallow water pool as soon as possible, and also provide a flat stone for him to eat.

Recently update This is the 48th day I got my baby RFT. I think I did all I could for him now, temperature in said the chamber is always around 85F, the humidity is always above 60% at least. Had a tube UVB light for 10 hours per day, sometime I take him out for sunshine when he is eating...

I think this would help, I will now provide food with fruit in there, in order get him to eat. Otherwise he will keep lose his weight, that's what I do not want him to do. Thanks for sharing, that gives me more confidence.

Thanks for sharing that, I probably keep him most time in closed chamber before next summer, but I will still take him out when is warm and sunny[emoji16]

Thank you very much, for your advice and information. I checked the forum by typing coil light bulb, saw many case like me. I believe that my tortoise is harm by the light already. I have take out the coil light already and let him stay dark. Also, everyday I will take him out for soak 30...

I had 5.0 desert before, the 10.0 desert inside still have the light bulb. That's why I'm not sure is the light bulb tropical or desert...

The one I'm holding is the one I been use so far, I forgot that was tropical or desert, but what I'm sure is 5.0 with safe distance. Would that be the case hurting my RFT eye? Thank you!
