I just got a redfoot a month ago, he's roughly 9 months old now. he's eating less and it lasts for about a week or so, i'm not sure if this is due to i give him food everyday, so he's not really hungry or is this a sign of illness.
He doesn't like to walk around, for last couple days, he's always hiding in his shadow area. and he likes to "dig holes", the substrate i use is cypress mulch, it dig it all the way down until he sees the bottom of the wooden enclosure. Also he likes to bite those pieces, and sometimes he will eat it other than his delicious meal, is this normal?? when he chews on those pieces, sometimes i can here the sound and it's like foam collapsing.
His nose is dry, no watery eyes, no liquid coming out of his mouth either, but sometimes i can hear weird sound from his nose, it's like some liquid stuck inside and he's trying to breath it out.
the temperature is always maintained at 85-90, and shadow area is cooler, at night it's about 79. the humidity can't get above 50% for a long time, although i spray water on the substrate a lot during the day.but i do soak him often for 25 mins once a day or once in 2 days. I wonder what might cause him for those behaviors i mentioned above. Thanks in advance!
