@Lyn W I noticed that its shell is a bit soft, does that mean the sun exposure should be increased? I ordered the Zoo Med Reptisun 10.0 Uvb Mini Compact Fluorescent, so does it help?
Thank you all for the replies. I live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, so basically there's no need for a basking area since it's super hot all the time ( never gets below 110 F day or night). I keep the enclosure in a room with a window (without AC), so it gets some sun at least 2 hours a day. I don't...
My leopard tortoise is 3 years old and has been healthy and super active all these years. Lately, I've noticed that it stopped moving around the enclosure, it barely turns left or right. It is even sleeping in the same place (not taking a corner or going into her hiding spot anymore). I can see...

Thanks guys!
That's really helpful! Thank you @Diamond I really appreciate it. I'll rise the temperature and try the baby carrot thing, hopefully it'll work like a charm.
Thank you @Diamond for this detailed reply. Yes I meant UVB light, not direct sunlight. I have them on about 12 hours a day. The enclosure in general has a temperature of 75, but in the basking area it's around 90. Unfortunately it's snowing here in Wisconsin so I can't take her out. I like the...
Good day everyone!
I've got a baby red foot around 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately she's very inactive, sleeping all the time and doesn't even open her eyes when I carry her in the afternoon. I'm soaking her daily for like 20 minutes in warm water, and her enclosure has sun light and a basking area...
