Hi.
try getting it to eat other foods, not just reptomin which is very high in protein.
Try boiled chicken chopped into tiny pieces and mix in fruits/veggies.
I would soak him daily as well as making sure that soaking water is always available.
You can use a flat/shallow tupperware lid for baby turtles. ( easy to get in and out of).
Or you can raise his enclosure ( if it's waterproof) slightly at one end, about an inch and fill the lower end with water.
This will allow him to scuttle down and soak whenever he wants.
Try and get him off his adiction to reptomin, mix in chopped apple and other fruits/veggies and greens.
They might not pass a stool daily,but if you're worried, the soakings will help.
My first hatchling 3 toed was also a bit adicted to reptomin and grew too quickly and even pyramided slightly.I had him indoors for the first couple of months.
I now leave the hatchlings outdoors, they grow very slowly and eat anything. I've seen them munching on apple, papaya, bugs they hunt, anything.
Terry.
