Young red foot acting strange

[Plowmandust77]

10 month red foot. 140 grams. Stopped eating as well just recently. I had 2 young babies that past away recently. They didn't eat much and their plastrons got super soft and that was it. The 10 month old seems lethargic now and eyes are shut when i get him to soak. Eyes open instantly with soak. Other tortoises in tank do not have issues. He's currently in a plastic tote and his poop looks good. Should i fecal exam it? I've had red foots awhile so this is starting to puzzle me. Is he too small for possible meds? Like i said, he was a eating machine just last week. Sorry for long rant.

Maybe you should post a photo of their habitat. 140 grams at 10 months old is very small. Mine was over 500 grams at 10 months. How often do you feed him and what?

Greens fruits mushrooms little protein.

Did you get them all from the same breeder?

I'm sorry to ask what might be a "no brainer". But you have a decent and functioning source of U.V.?
The soft plastron and the closing eyes concern me.

 

[Plowmandust77]

His plastron is strong. Eyes just started recently.

Plowman. What uvb source are you using and how high is the uvb set from substrate?
What are you feeding for protein?
Are you offering any supplements?
