Hi,

I am the proud new owner of a baby redfoot. He/she is about 2.5 inches long. I'm wondering how much it should eat every day. I was told to offer about two times the size of his shell. I soaked him this morning and then offered him a lovely salad of baby spring mix lettuce, chopped broccoli, red bell peppers, mango and raspberries. He ate a big chunk of bell pepper marched over and ate some raspberry and then retreated to his hide. As in he didn't eat too much. Is this normal? I took the food away so it doesn't cook in there, but am planning to offer it again later.

Does this sound right?

thanks,
Cynthia
