Hi,
I purchased two baby greek tortoises two weeks ago. I have a golden and a normal. The golden is doing awesome, eats all the time and is very active. The normal seems to not be right, and I don't know what to do for him. I've only seen him eat maybe three times since I've had him. He stays hid most of the time. The golden is out for most of the day and I see her eat every day, sometimes several times a day. They have a basking area that is close to 95 degrees. They have a nice enclosure that measures 3' by 3'. I will include a pictue below of their cage. I am feeding a variety of foods. Mazuri tortoise chow, dandelion greens, cactus pads, spring mix greens, etc... I soak them every other day, and they also have a water area in their cage if they want to get in it. They have a cave area that is moist and is heated below and stays about 85 degrees but they don't use it all the time. Any suggestions that that anyone may have on what I can do to get this guy a little more active and eating better I would appreciate it very much. His eyes look clear, and no discharge from his nose or anything like that. I can't seem to get the company I purchased them from to reply to my messages to help me.
