Hi. I need help: my Greek tortoise has been extremely inactive lately. He sleeps night and day long, till I wake him up so as to give him a soak and some food. I am worried and surprised at this behaviour as: the weather is hot here. Temperature is about 30 degrees C (86 F) in Amman. Moreover, his enclosure is the same, my flat is the same and nothing has changed. ( We know that torts do not like change and take time to adapt). Oli has been here for almost ten years - a decade. Therefore it is not a matter of change, obviously. The weather? I personally doubt it, as he has not been so inactive even during snow!
I have to wake him up each and every day so as to soak him. He poops but has constipation, although his food is the same. I am then obliged to hand feed him as he won't eat alone. Once he eats, he crawls to his favourite corner and falls asleep immediately.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
