Questions on Rad

[LEO037]

It seems that young radiated cannot tolerant too much greens. Whenever I feed too much greens both of my two radiated will have loose stool. I now feed them 90% tortoise food with only a little grass or greens. Does anyone have such issue? how do you deal with it?
They are about 3'' and the temp is 90-80, humidity 60%-90%
Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you

What kind of greens do you feed? And what tortoise food are you offering them? Some greens like cactus will naturally cause this.

Maybe try to introduce foods with a little more fiber.
