My daughter was given a female red foot a few days ago for her birthday. She is about 5" in diameter right now.. Not sure of her age. She was given to us in a 10 gal tank and with a 60W heat bulb. Our house runs a lot cooler than most so I was a little concerned about keeping her warm enough. Around day 2 I noticed she hadn't eaten at all since we brought her home and went to the pet store where I was informed she needed a UV light and probably a larger wattage of heat bulb. We just went a purchased a 55 gal tank today and 2 heating pads, 2 lights and a larger soaking spot. She became a lot more lively after we switched the heat lamps and spends a lot more time basking and I witnessed her drinking. But I haven't noticed that she's eaten anything. We just got the new tank set up tonight and we brought her home Sunday night. I have given her shredded apples and carrots mixed with the commercial food. Could she just be stressed because of the new environment still or could there be something wrong?
