Thank you I appreciate your kind words. Sadly, she was stiff when I returned after an hour. She had a vet apt later that day. They told me the only way to check would be to give her an autopsy. I don’t wish to have a young baby cut open.
New thermometer and Hydrometers purchased 💓 • just placed in room•
hydro level range 79%-99%
Temp range 87-90 Fahrenheit//30.57-32.22C
I placed them all around for a full round up.
In a dark bag? I never thought about that. Thank you! Speedy hasn’t touched the mango. But she/he is on the bowl. I did make an apt for the vet next week. So let us see what the issue is (if any)
Reading up on RF. Theyre supposed to like a list of things including cuttlebone, did I purchase a (sorry) defective (sorry) RF? They don’t act or do RF things I find on this forum. •they don’t act sick, no bubbles, no goop from any places, no shell rot, no pyramiding. Humidity is high, I got new...
I gave speedy Mango, carrot, a small bit of dragon fruit & shredded romaine lettuce on top of the pellets/cactus. They just had a BM. I am planning on taking them to the vet for a check up, I don’t believe the breeder had any sort of medical treatment or care other then hatching & selling 😒😓

I just put Speedy on the scale (very first weigh in since adoption on May 19)
1.25 oz - I have NOTHING to go off of.
I’ll take weight in a few days time to make sure they’re not dropping
pellets & cactus. Yesterday Romaine lettuce & flower mix. Speedy really loves strawberries and cucumbers, but I’m afraid if I continue to give them that they won’t eat anything else. I keep a daily journal regarding what food they receive bath time and their bowel movements as well. speedy...
Saw a wonderful post about giving tough love to picky eaters. How long does this work?
I’m doing my best to get Speedy to consume greens; they’re OBSESSED with strawberries!! Adorable but annoying 😂🐢💓
My baby Redfoot is the same way will only eat certain things 😅 but I’m glad I found your post so now I know as well to not give in and only offer greens 🐢💓
Wow!!!! The biggest poop from Speedy. I had to help get the rest out with a Qtip. Then a nice soak made the difference. No wonder his/her eating was slowed.
I also went ahead and bought more hides and more plants to introduce into the enclosure, and I bought a fiber mat so that is the substrate will be covered.
I did notice that they are not a fan of the regular tortoise food that I had purchased, but instead really enjoy produce. But I do add calcium and cactus so at least I know they’re getting some of what they should be eating
