i recently bought my Russian tortoise, Pippa. I bought her at a reptile expo, they kept her in a very small container and I felt so horrible. I’ve been wanting a tortoise for a long time. Since I got her, she seems to be hiding away and sleeping. She burrowed into her bedding yesterday and is pretty adamant about being in her tank. Today, I pulled her out to try to feed her and she doesn’t seem interested. The guy I purchased her from said he feeds her in a different container than her enclosure, so I tried that. I’ve literally tried everything. I tried feeding her in her enclosure, out in the open, in a seperate container, and I’ve tried kale, squash, grapes, collared greens, turtle food off the shelf, everything!! She seems to be scared and nervous I’m not sure what to do. Maybe it’s just too stressful ?? Help!!
