Hi,
Thank you for welcoming us to the group. We inherited our tortoise from a friend as they had two horsfields who were fighting. He has always been fed on pellets and greens, so we have continued with what he knows. Up until a week or so ago he was eating well, loves kale and eats his pellets. Now he has become very sleepy, wants to get out of the way of his lamps and hide in his house or under his log roll. I am bathing him in warm water, and he was pooing up until yesterday when he is not even pooing. I am waking him up to put under his lamps, but he gets out of the light when he can. Is this normal behaviour, or do we need to take him to a vet? Any help most welcome thank you. He is five btw.
