HELP - Redfoot diareah

[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Tortoise Forum ]

Posted by Melodie on July 02, 2002 at 21:39:43:

My hatchling redfoot Elvis is about 4 months old, and I've had him for a little over two months. He's eating strongly, zucinni is his favorite, and so far he's been doing great, gained 1/2 an ounce and walking very stongly.
Problem...the last few days his stool has been runny, bordering on diareah. I haven't changed his diet, feeding mustard greens, water crest, dandelions, zuccini, a little cucumber, apricots, grapes, carrots, kiwi, a little strawberry and letting him graze in the yard on young grass shoots, impatiens and babies tears. Calcuim suppliments a pinch every other day....am I doing anything wrong? I did have a ceramic heat emmiter for the first month, but it's been hot here the last month and turned it off (it's 75 at night up to 80's in day, basking area up to 90, but that's the only change I've made...is it not warm enough for him to digest properly?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
