After we moved here to Alabama my RF King was having problems adjusting, he still does and its been over 5 months already. In these 5 months he hasn't eaten properly, just a nibble of his food occasionally and he stays in the house area of his new enclosure (a shaded dark area separated from the bigger part of the enclosure. I soak him every 2 days for about 20 minutes and he drinks water then but when hes in his enclosure he doesnt seem to move at all. I put the UV light in the bigger part of the enclosure so that he could walk around but all he does is sleep all day, and when I try to put it directly on him he just runs away from it and goes to the darker side of the enclosure. Before it started to get really cold (about late October over here) He used to go outside everyday and he would walk around for about 1-2 hours, he still didn't eat then but at least he was still active. I don't know if I've made the situation clear enough but hopefully someone on the forum could understand... I put a link to his enclosure and his UV lamps check images if it helps
I feed him fruits like berries, mango, apple, and grapes (the other day he ate a piece of my banana but I read that they're bad for tortoises so I didn't feed him much). I also feed him lettuces, carrots, and tomato. It is mixed with Mazuri.
If there is any way i could take him outside in this temperatures please let me know (like if I could buy him tiny sweaters or something)
- I have 2 UV lamps in his enclosure, one of them only emits UVB and the other emits UVB and heat, but I can't find the link to the heating one.
