    My Russian Tortoise Has Not Eaten

    Hello all! I received my Russian tortoise nearly two months ago now and he is still not eating. I have seen him nibble on his food a couple times but that is all. The temps are fine (basking spot around 96 degrees, ambient temperatures around the 80s). And the rest of my husbandry is fine...

    New Russian Tortoise Update- Still Settling In?

    Hello all! I thank those who responded to my previous post about the concerns I had with my new Russian tortoise (ordered online, received a month ago). He is moving around A LOT more each day. He is basking more which is great. He started eating a little (emphasis on a little) bit this past...

    New Tortoise not drinking or eating/ lethargic

    Yeah I try to only handle him when soaking him in the morning. All the bad reviews I stumbled across about tortoise town were a few days after I ordered him already- I was so sad that I didn’t see them before. That’s why I’m so concerned about his current behavior but I’m a bit more relaxed...

    New Tortoise not drinking or eating/ lethargic

    New Tortoise not drinking or eating/ lethargic

    He is still not eating anything but he has started drinking when I soak him in the mornings and will move around a little bit more. I will try making the corners higher as he does dig a lot in them. Thank you so much for the tips!

    New Tortoise not drinking or eating/ lethargic

    Thank you for replying! I’ve been scouring the forum to see what I can do. I’ll look into that water bowl then. I’ve been soaking him since I got him. He sees the food but he’s completely uninterested in it. Thanks for the tip, I try to keep the food wet so if he eats, he will get some...

    New Tortoise not drinking or eating/ lethargic

    Hello! I’m in a bit of a predicament. I just received my juvenile Russian tortoise in the mail yesterday morning from Tortoise Town (I know. I saw the thread about the site too late). He has not taken any water or food since placing him in his enclosure. He will only move if I move him! I have...
