i think he just needs some time to settle in maybe calmly handle him help him come out of his shell
Thank you for your advice. I just want him to be healthy. How many days should I give him to come out
no worries that was just advice I gave you as my tortoise was in the same situation and I calmly handled him and he started acting like a normal little tortoise I advise you wait for someone a bit more experienced to tell you how long you should give him mate
Because honestly I’m not entirely to sure so don’t want to give you false information ??
Ok thank you he is not eating really either
I can advise your starters giving them a very small piece of fruit like a bit of strawberry or a bit of watermelon it is there favourite not to much, the reason for this is because they love it and it could get them interested in there leafy greens
In general it can get them interested in eating again
Ok thank you ever so much I will try and let you know how he gets on
No worries
They become more active when they are warm the last thing I can suggest is that you get him out the corner put him near his heat light Not directly under just put him near it so that the heat can help warm him up and that really should bring him to life mate and he should start moving about
thats if you haven’t already tried that
Yes it does but he just goes into the corner of where I put him tbh
Yeah thank you for your help I have gave him some grape as we have no strawberries
No worries yeah that’s cool mine likes a bit of grape to remember in case you didn’t know already only feed them a bit of fruit once every two weeks if that leafy greens should make up most of there diet, good luck mate
Handling will have the opposite effect. They don’t want to be handled, and to them, there is no such thing as being “calmly handled”. Leaving them alone to settle in is much better, and any handling will just stress them out further.
