Hello, I got a red foot tortoise yesterday and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right but if u can tell me any extras please do.
I have him in a 20 gallon tank because he is only like 4 inches. I fed him romain lettuce yesterday and this morning. I'm going to give it to him every morning. And like 20 minutes ago I gave him half of a banana. Im going to give him fruit every other day. Very rarely I will give him bananas. Mostly strawberries and blueberries. I have his humidity at about 70-80%. To keep the humidity high I take a water bottle and pour warm water in his cage. For substrate I'm using Cyprus mulch. The basking spot is 90 degrees. I have a decent sized tin foil water bowl. Tho I haven't seen him soak in it yet. When I got him I did let him sit in warm water for about 10 minutes before being put in the cage. So I hope I'm doing everything right Cus I want him to be healthy. I did realize that his eyes are a little watery but it's clear fluid so I think he's okay. He Is only a year old. He ate most of the banana but not all. Should I leave it in his cage. Or should I remove it. Also I did pick him up a couple of time but I now know to wait about a week. Thank you PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME IF IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
