Hey, I'm new to this. I bought my redfoot tortoise in May when he was two. I love the guy, but I'm constantly scared i'm doing stuff wrong because he doesn't seem too happy. So yeah, that's why I'm here

welcome! What would give you the idea he is not happy? Can we see photos of his enclosure and him? Also what are you feeding him? We can help

Hey, thanks for your welcomes guys!

He goes through phases of being really active and then other days just sits in the same spot; i'll take him out to bathe him and encourage him to eat, and he's fine, but then goes back to the same spot and does not move.
Over the past week or so, he appears to be sliding around, more than using his legs; they seem like they've become really weak.
He eats mainly red pepper, cabbage, kale and mushroom, with some banana and mango thrown in for a treat.
I can't take a photo right now because my phone is in a bad way, but he lives in a vivarium which I think is maybe 3'X2'X2'
