Hello! I have a 3 month old red foot tortoise old who is not really gaining weight. He weighs 51 grams today and he weighed 50 grams on July 5th. He is eating and active in the mornings/early afternoon, his enclosure temps are around 85° during the day with about 95° basking area and temps do not drop below 75° at night. The humidity averages about 80% during the day and I turn off the humidifier at night. Substrate is eco earth mixed with Reptisoil covered with sphagnum moss. Substrate retains moisture well. He is eating well and pooping normally, daily soaks for at least 20 minutes plus time he gets in his fountain. Anything else I should be doing? I have a vet referral so that will be my next step to get him checked at the vet. Thanks in advance for your help!
