I’m struggling here…I’m new to tortoises and have had my rf for about a month now.
She lives outside and I bring her in for the night where she lives in this box.
I changed things recently to accommodate her behaviors and me trying to understand her needs. She had this box outside at first where she slept, but since I made her enclosure bigger, she didn’t set foot inside for over a week, just burrowed behind it in the corner when she wanted to sleep.
so I took it inside and put her smaller house I had for her inside out.
well since then, she won’t sleep in the humid back part of the house and just stays on the dry, open side. I put her favorite plant in there too, thinking she’ll go there, but nooooo.
she hates soaking, she never goes in the water dishes I have spread out for her, I don’t see her drink, but she does pee…so she must drink when I’m not watching ?
I do spray the outside grass where she is during the day twice a day and spray her while I’m doing it.
Is that enough for her?
I’m confused and concerned, that she’s not having enough humid time.
Outside is on average 60% daily.
