Hi,
I've increase basking temp to close to 100 degrees, cool side is 70 degrees and middle is 80 degrees. Yoshi has been off her food mostly, eating very little which I change up her food constantly from spring mix, collards, turnip leaves, etc. Her feces is somewhat hard, harder than it normally is, she's not going as often and I get little rabbit turds (2 today) when she does go. I've increased her soak to everyday for 30 minutes instead of every other day 20 minutes. I currently gave her some butternut squash with her calcium sprinkled on it in hopes she would eat. She ate almost all of it. I am going to give her some more later with aloe on it and see if that helps. She did urinate today in her bath water and is a normal view. Her current enclosure has water for her all the time, obstacles and is 40" x 74" currently.
My concern is her hiding all the time, not basking like she should, and little eating and defecating. What could be the problem and what am I doing wrong or what can I do to help her. I live in WA State and it's too cold for her to go outside and I wouldn't feel comfortable her being freed. Putting up outside pen for summer if it ever gets here.
