Hello all!
My partner and I recently adopted a small female Russian Tortoise (named Coco). We've had her about 4 months. She generally seems pretty happy. However, recently, she has begun pooping far less than usual (once every ~3 or more days, rather than twice a day). She still eats the same amount every day, which seems good, but I'm worried. Is this normal?
Here's all the background info I have seen people ask for in other threads, if it helps:
I give her hot soaks for 30 minutes every other day, and she eats daily in the morning (Spring mix, but she heavily favors radicchio and picks it out over all other foods in the mix). She is about 4.5 inches long, and her enclosure is a little over 16 ft^2, with coco coir substrate. The hot end of the enclosure is ~95F with a UVB mercury vapor bulb, while the cool end is ~82F. Humidity is between 30-40%.
