So my redfoot has been acting a little odd lately. He seems fine and his temps are ok. Day temp 80-85 with humidity between 70 and 80, night temp 70+.
He used to be in colder conditions at the shelter before i rescued him and i was told he lived in a school courtyard before that for 10+ years but idk if it was in ohio or not. If he was in Ohio's winters in a courtyard idk how he's alive unless he's adapted to hibernation some how? Even then it still gets too cold out there in Ohio.
I just switched from basking bulb to che but he actually did bask under the light a few times before i switched, other than that nothing has changed.
anyway he's a full grown redfoot and I've had him for over a month but this week he started only coming out of his hide every other day to eat and won't touch his water. ( i feed him daily and he didn't skip a day before this week) he eats fine the next day but goes in his hide again to sleep for the rest of the day.
He seems fine, no weird breathing or running nose. I know other species do this when it's time to hibernate but again he's a redfoot... i dont know what's up with him.
He got a vet checkup a few weeks ago too and it was all good. No parasites, good xray, ect. I've been putting water on his greens to keep him hydrated but i can't get him out long enough to soak him. Anyone have any idea what's going on? If so I'd really appreciate your comments on this behavior and advice if you can give any. Thanks!!!
