So Iv taken on a 4yr old horsefield Tortoise. Iv always loved them but I’m really nervous about getting things right.
my main concern is he’s not eating much. the last three days he’s had only one small leaf of Romain lettuce and he’s not that active tho I’m not sure how active he should be?
His original table was double the size of the one I have (he’s getting a much bigger one but it’s not arrived yet) could the lack of room be affecting him? Being moved to a new home?
he’s come from a home with other tortoises to a home with one him? Could this put him off his food?
Iv made sure his temperatures are the same he’s a heat lamp uva/b lamp. I’m giving him all the same food as he’d normally get.
stupid question but how do I know if he’s happy? I really want to give him the best home but I’m just worried he’s not happy with me yet. Please help, any advice on bring a tort into a new home very welcome
many thanks
