    Red foot mouth injury in crease/corner?

    Hello! So my Red foot, Kirby, seems to be injured. I can only imagine it's from scraping their food off the side of their mouth with their feet. Can anyone tell me what I should do for this, theories, advice, etc? If you need more information about habitat/husbandry, just ask!

    Redfoot isnt eating on his own.

    My Redfoot tort (approx. 3 years old) doesnt seem to touch his salad on his own. However, whenever i show him and hand feed him food, he takes it and eats most things i give him. I switch out the food after 24 hours. Heat, humidity, and light sources are all optimal. He's soaked 2 times a week...
