Well, I have got 2 redfoot babies. The first one is a 3 month old and I got the second redfoot which is about 5 month old one week after the first one. I put them in the same place. Temperature 72-85 and humidity 55%-75%. They both eat well, sleep well, poop well! I feed them 5 times a week and I also bath them 5 times a week. I am sure I feed them what I should feed them.
So there are my 2 questions
First question: 3 days ago, the 5 mouth old one just stays in the water dish everyday. I mean after it eats and walks a little bit, it just goes to the water dish and take a bath for the entire day! My baby doesn't go back to the hiding until I turn off the UVA and UVB! And today I had to put him back to the hiding! So is there anything wrong?? The 3 month old one is okey because after eating and walking, it stays in the hiding for the rest of the day. And one thing I need to let you know is that the water dish is in the hot zone and hiding is in the cold zone. But the water dish is not the only place under the hot zone. I mean there is other place it can stay for heat. So is it normal?? Is there anything wrong with my tortoise??
Second question: Some times I can see some very very small white little bugs in there tank and even on there shell! I believe it is because the high temperature and high humidity. I have already done a rebuilding everything 2 weeks ago and it was okey for a few days but I still see the small bugs today. So I really want to know if the bugs are big problems??? I tried to clean up the food that they don't finish but I still see bugs. And if there is anything else I can do to stop this???
