I recently picked up my first red foot in Daytona and am having a bit of trouble with her enclosure....any advice would be appreciated.
He/She is just a hatchling and since I live in Indiana she will be inside most of the year. I have set up a large tub with a water dish and rock type ramp, a humid hide box area (a easy to remove small tub of ground up mosses that has been washed and soaked) covered by a hidebox, a UV/heat backing light, for the rest of the substrate I used a product by Oxbow which is a compressed pellet made entirely of wheat straw.
Problem is she seems to eat anything in front of her...moss, pellets, whatever...and it doesn't matter if she has just eatten.
Please advise.

Thanks
Cassie
