Baby Olive
New Member
Hi, I rescued a baby tortoise from the road, size of my thumb. Judging by the shell, I believe it is a female. I have her indoors, in a shallow big plastic box with small stones & small rocks near a window & have been feeding her lettuce, finely grated carrot & dandelion flowers. Up until now she has been eating, but now she is not moving much or eating. I place her in the small shallow dish with water for a few seconds & place her near her food but she crawls back to her corner. Is she trying to hibernate? Is it dangerous as she is so small? I hear her moving about slightly in the early evening when the radiators come on as it is warmer.
