You're feeding too much protein... I don't know what you're feeding but it is too much protein... jus kidding.



Try increacing the temperature to provide a range of at least 75 to 90F. 80 to 100 F would not be bad either. Couple this with the humid hide and see what happens.





>>Hello all! i posted this question in the "redfoot" section with little responce, so I figured I would try in this one too. I have a redfoot that's a little over 1 year of age, and he's pyramiding. He's been fed the "typical redfoot diet" that i've read on a million webpages and books (collards, leafy greens, mixed veggies, little fruit), he gets Ca at least once a week, gets soaked in a warm water bath every day and has a UVA/UVB bulb. I've tried just about every substrate too, and the "pelleted grass type" seems to work best. The changes that I have made include: building him a "humid hide" which he spends all night in now, adding an additional UVA/UVB bulb, and reduced his feeding to every other day. Only time will tell if these changes help him any. Are they any other additional changes I could make to stop his abnormal growth? Thanks!!!
