Hello All,
So i recently got a red footed tortoise female who is estimated to be around 5-6 years old. She was rescued and nursed back to health by someone else after living with an owner who only fed her Iceberg lettuce. Since getting her I have tried to feed her mustard greens, collard greens, yellow squash, apples, mangos etc she has no interest in any of it. I change it out daily to make sure the food is fresh. I have a heat lamp, a basking light and uv bulb. Her tank is at 75-85 degrees. lower end at night time. I even got a tank humidifier to make sure her humidity is at least 70%. I have had her for about a week and she has not eaten and she doesn't move around much. I even get her out of her tank and take her outside since its summer to see if she will walk around out there and she does not. I am worried I am doing something wrong or she is sick. Any advice is appreciated.
