Hi
I've had Evo for 1.5 weeks and till date and she was eating well. Today however she has not touched much of her salad.
I soak her in the morning (5am) for 20min and then put out her breakfast before going to work.
After the soaking she is not interested in food and after digging herself under the substrate goes to sleep.
This afternoon she eat only a few leaves and went back to sleep after roaming for 15min.
I have weight her two days ago and she has put on 14g in a week but today she has not head much food at all.
Is this normal? How much should a 1 year old eat?
I may have to change the routine and let her sleep in the morning and soak and give her food when I get home from work. This may be teething problems but I would like her to have a routine sooner rather then later.
Vet said she has some parasite eggs but they are not the ones that need treatment.
Also has anyone heard of the following product: Komodo Tortoise Diet Complete
We are very limited what we get here in NZ for tortoises but I was thinking getting this product as a back up?
Would appreciate some comments and suggestions.
Cheers A
