Hi everyone,
I recently have a radiated tortoise yearling exactly a week ago. However, the only time the tort pooped is when i got him. He pooped in his box during the transport. Ever since, he has not pooped. He is still eating but not finishing up the whole dish. I fed him spring mix, kale, grassland tortoise pellet (soak in water) once only. Now trying to feed him nopales cactus, aloe vera and canned pumpkin.
He is not lethargic but not that active walking around my 75 gallon tank
I still have him in a closed chamber with cypress mulch as substrate. initially with a baking temp of 95-98 degrees for 14 hours together with a tube UVB, and in the past 2 days i have raised the basking to >100 degrees. At night i turn everything off and temp is around 70 degrees. humidity is controlled between 65->80%
am I missing out something? I dont want to lose the little guy. I have seen thread with poop problems, I was wondering if there is a specific thing i must do for radiateds
I will really appreciate your input
