Does my tort not like me anymore???

[samiburke]

I got him in march before I started college and work. And I would hold him constantly but for the last few months I've been so busy I barely have time to hold him daily. And now when I do pick him up he hides in his shell and tries to walk away when I hold him. He didn't used to do that. Have I hurt his feelings??? I feel bad tht he doesn't like me anymore. How do I get him to like me again???

I would say do the same as you did in the first place to make him trust you..I'm guessing. Sorry...

Tortoises don't have human feelings, he doesn't hate you. He is being a tortoise. The more time you do spend with him the more comfortable he will be, like in the beginning.

He is just being cautious, in case you are a predator. I wouldn't blame him, better safe than sorry.
