Hii All ...
The more i read on here, the little i realise i know and in fact the little i realise many petshops know about tortoises.
I am a first time tortoise owner and absolutely love both of my horsefields to bits i have done much as much research as possible to provide the best food/environment/routine for them but i am concerned about my youngest tort.
I purchased both tortoises together ( and was told that one year old tortoises were okay to be housed with 3 year old torts, which i have learnt on here is not a good idea)
My older tort seems to be thriving; is very active, eats and drinks well, solid faeces, bright eyed etc.
My younger tort however just doesnt seem very active at all!!.. is this normal? He eats well unaided, drinks, solid faeces and apears bright eyed but is only active for very short periods. He would much prefer to sleep .. I just dont know what im doing wrong. Pherhaps i am making to many comparisons between him and the older tortoise, but i just dont see how one can be so active and the other so sleepy
Sorry if this all seems very dumb, but like i say im 100percent new to torts. Any advice would be much appreciated xxx
