Hi everyone.
I just got this red foot juvenile last week. (see pictures) She seems quite shy (which is understandable since she's in new surroundings) but she won't eat much. She eats about the size of her head. Is that normal? Also, she isn't active. She's only hungry at night it seems though I try to feed her in the morning. She digs (plays?) for about an hour a day, but that is it. Otherwise, she's in this pot just looking around and I noticed that today & yesterday her right eye isn't opening much. Is that normal? I am a bit concerned and am going to make a vet appointment. Her cage is misted twice daily. And her temperature is good along with the lighting. I have gauges in there to check to make sure the humidity & heat is okay.
Recap of my questions:
1. Is it normal for her to eat food only the size of her head?
2. She only moves around for an hour a day. Is that normal for juvenile red foots?
3. Her eye doesn't seem to open easy. Is that just something they do or a sickness?
Thank you!
