Hello, so I have a russian tortoise that is not being very active. He spends his days in his hide and won't even come out for food. If I wouldn't drag him out he would probably sit in his hide until he died. I have not been able to find the answer on the internet and he is starting to scare me...

He is doing pretty good. I put a few extra spots for him to hide in and he is now exploring. I took him out today because it is the first sunny day in a week and he had a blast in the yard.

He didnt really eat a lot. Like I said he only took one bite of aloe but he did eat his regular meal earlier so he could just be full

I soaked him and he just did the usual pooping and stuff then I put him back in his enclosure and he now is moving more but he is just walking in his hot spot.

A few minutes ago I fed my russian some aloe vera. He only took one bite but now he is not moving. He is breathing and moving his head but is staring at one spot and hasn't moved anywhere for about 5 minutes but he is always moving and exploring. Does this sound like there is anything wrong

My temps are at 94 in the hot side and 77 in the cool side. My humidity is in the 50 % range
