I acquired 5 indian star tortoises which were hatched in captivity in 2018, but recently they appear to have stopped growing. I used to feed mostly greens, but after they stopped growing I started feeding them Mazuri about twice a week.
Their lighting is T5 UVB lamps, with a ceramic lamp for heating (27-34°C). They regularly bask below the ceramic lamp. The humidity varies from 65-85%. They poop regularly, typically when I bathe them.
I'm starting to suspect that it might be parasites? I contacted a local vet regarding a fecal exam but I haven't heard back yet.
Any advice?
