I've lowered their light, it's 32 degrees C and they still won't eat. They ate for the first time Tuesday after a long warm soak but not had anything since

I've spoken to the pet shop. I would only be returning 1 anyway, they've told me to give them time to settle in. They're just sleeping all time now. We are only on day 4. I'm just going to go and get them out for a soak. The thermoter is reading 30degrees now under lamp, is that warm enough?

I should be able to return, but they were in quite a small viv at the pet shop, I can seperate them today as the sun is shining, I think it will be better to rehome to someone who knows what They're doing.

Thanks, I feel awful at the thought of sending 1 back but I don't have the extra money or space for another enclosure. Kicking myself now

I'll take a look at that, thanks. They're 5/6 and have very different tails, 1 shorter with a * shape and the other is alot longer curled to side with a slit

Thank you

Oh wow, Are these the same age? Have you had any problems with keeping them together?

See I was told theyd always been together but the female is smaller so makes me think that can't be true, she must younger

Thank you, I know now the pet shop has just done anything for a quick sale, they told me theyd always been together and that it was ok to keep a male and female together, as did a lot of sources online

I'll go get some, They're in a 2@*4ft open table with steralised top soil. I've just fetched my girl outside and she's women up, having a good wonder. I've been trying them with kale, and various leaf and flower from the tortoise food app.

I've fetched my girl outside for an hour and she's cheered up lots, I will put a divider up for now and will have to get another table.

Thank you, They don't seam to be eating so i'm soaking regulary

Thanks

Hi, I have 2 new horsefield tortoise that I got just 3 days ago. At first the female was quite active with the male being a bit more shy, now my female has been hiding away sleeping since yesterday morning, iv had her out to bathe and place under light but then she goes back, they both seam to...

Oh no I thought they were being affectionate, neither of them are eating and the female, who was very active first couple of days is now just hiding away and sleeping, They're both burrowed away together now.

Hi, I download an app yesterday called plantnet, you take a pic of the plant/flowers and it tells you what it is, its Great, I then use the tortoise food table to see if it's safe to eat.

Thanks, they don't seam to be eating and i'm not sure if They're still adjusting or if something is wrong, I've tried them with kale, different types of leaves and flowers that are safe, I can't remember all names yet but I have the photo identifier app and tortoise food app that i'm following.

Hi everyone, My names Linzi, I live in south yorkshire Uk. I've just become a new tortoise owner, I have 2 horsefield tortoise, 1 male, 1 female, from reading a few posts I know most of you won't agree to me keeping 2 together, I went to our local pet shop and these 2 had always been together...
