Today feels like i've run into a brick wall ... Guido doesn't seem right and I don't know what to do. For starters I haven't seen him eat in days. In the morning before I leave for work he will be in one spot and when I get home (several hours later) he is in the exact same spot.
I have tried spring mix, weeds, flowers, even lettuce to see if he is just being stubborn and nothing. His temps in his enclosure are 89-93 in the day and he has a exo terra 125w mvb light, and at night I use a nightlight that keeps it at 80ish. Humidity is at 26% but I'm not sure what humidity to use for a texas tort... now his temps haven't been completely consistent because finding the right light has been a pain. He just got over a small run in with my cat :/ and since his shell is "the softest my vet has ever seen" he was put on calcium and vitamin shots provided by the vet. I've soaked him for the past 3 days first two days in baby carrots and today In bird vitamins. The first night it seemed to wake him up but I still didn't see him eat but he did move more than usual... the other two soaks nothing not much success. Is there anything else I can try just to get him to eat? Are there any suggestions ...
