Hello everyone,
I had my RFT baby since August 11, from 10 gallon tank move to 2x2x4 big close chamber enclosure.
He/she been not active, afraid of light, does not eat much, close eyes most time.
He/she is been not active for 2 months, he/she sleep in corner, water bowl, even under UVB. He/she wake only when I soak him/her with warm water.
I felt like he/she afraid light, but might not. He/she some time run away from the UVB light, but some time direct sleep under the UVB light, even I put him/her outside in shade he/she fall sleep all the time.
He/she been eats so little, Mango is his/her favorite, then will be other type of fruit, then will be green leaf, I think he/she only eats those two type of food. The dry Dandelion flower and tortoise pellet and animals protein, he/she did not eat at all, even I mix with Mango. He/she will only eat so small amount then find some where dark to sleep. Also, the poop is very bad because he/she eat fruit most time.
Also, his/her eyes have some problems, he/she been using his/her front leg to touch the eyes all the time since I got him/her. His/her eyes only open when I soak in warm water.
The big enclosure right now is 86F on left side, 82F on right side. The air humidity is above 70% all day long. I soak him/her everyday with 88-95F warm water at least 30 miuntes. I feed him/her everyday, I tried to feed different, but he does not eat much or just not eat at all. The substrate inside the tank is kind dry. Right now is Zoo med 5.0 UVB, I will get my tube UVB at end of next week.
I took him/her to see the animals vet twice, charged me $171 total, the first time is just let me keep observing, the second time give me the Critical Care powder, let me feed my RFT by holding him/her on the air and use some type medicine needle, mix the critical care with warm water to drop in through his/her mouth. I only done once then I stopped because I felt my RFT was very stress with that.
Does anyone can provide some options for me get my RFT better?
