Picked up 2 radiated torts in August, 1 was 49 grams and 2nd was 38 grams the first day I had them. I think they were born May or June of this year. They've been kept in 4x2 AP cage with basking end around 95 and cool end around 88. At night I turn off all heating and lights, gets to room temp mid-upper 70s. Humidity stays from 60% on the hot side to 80-90% on the cool side with daily misting. I've been giving them baths 3-4x week in the sun 20-30 mins (instead of fitting a UVB). Feeding dandelion, escarole, romaine, collards, OG mazuri 2x/ week, with the occasional fruit treat 1x/week (strawberry, mango, cactus pear).
The bigger one went from 49 grams to 64 grams in a month, the smaller one went from 38 to 37 grams. The smaller guy I noticed past 3 days hasn't been feeding, his last poop was 3 days ago, yellow soft and watery. I separated the two now, I've been giving the small guy carrot/water baths 2x / day. His eyes are open, just weak, not moving a whole lot and not eating. I read Bill and Chris' care sheets...
Am I keeping them too hot? Should I just go for a average temp in the upper 80s during day?
Should I try warm pedialyte soaks?
Should I still be doing the night time cool down to room temp?
