So, I have a trio of Redfooted Tortoises that are each about 10 months old now, and they've never eaten good while I've had them. I can't get them to eat hardly anything no matter what type of food I offer them, and so subsequently they're not growing, and it seems like now they're starting to get a slight case of soft shell because they're not taking in anything.
They're in a 6' by 2' habitat with a mixture of coconut coir, cypress mulch, and moss for bedding, but I'm pulling them out of that and setting up a large storage container for them tomorrow hopefully, so I can monitor them better and make sure they're getting UVB and all of that.
I recently ordered some more different types of foods and appetite simulators and such from LLL reptile (including a scale so I can monitor their weight) and I'm hoping all of that helps. I'm going to take them all into the vet to see what he says and if he has any recommendations. But until then, because I don't know when I can get an appointment, what should I do?
