    Soft bottom shell and sleeps all the time

    I got him from ATC a very good breeder. I will post pictures tomorrow. I feed him everything that is available in the backyard - dandelion, hibiscus, different greens, some dry tortoise food. Adding calcium supplements. Also, he gets soaked almost on daily basis.

I sprayed the substrate with water to increase the humidity and it seems sticky and makes the baby all dirty. It’s only on one side of the enclosure, the other half...
