Hello Forum
I'm new to the tortoise world. I've always wanted pet torts but they are few and far between in Hawaii so I got some from North America. I have two Leopards, Mike and Leo ninja. I've had them for more than two weeks and they were doing fine on a diet of ZooMed grassland and some fresh weeds like plantain, sow thistle, and dandelion from the garden. Also hibiscus, petunia, and aloe. The were usually up and about but lately they've been sleeping a lot the last couple of days. I noticed Mike with a snot bubble. They're kept under the porch on coconut substrate with a UVB and infrared lamp since it can get damp outside. My hygrometer reads between 50-70% average. Should I bring my babies to the vet or let them sleep it off? Should their food be more dry than moist? I'm getting worried.
