I'm about to adopt a RF from a friend of mine who is adopting it from her job at Petsmart for us, its got shell rot on the bottom of its shell, they are giving it injections of some sort every 72 hours, also doing a dip of some sort i believe 3 times a day.
The shellrot has stopped spreading ,they had him on bed-a-beast which i've heard hold too much moisture and humidity for RF's and now is on cypress shavings. Is there any certian precautions i should be following when i get him to ensure a full recovery? Any foods or suplements i can put in for him to help with this recovery and maybe a boost to encourage his body to heal to the best of its ability.
And another thing, he has a deformity not allowing him to fully hold himself up off the ground (thinking this might of caused the start of the shell rot) is there anything someone would recommend to make it a little easier for this little tort to get around?
