Thank you! Yes the plants are real, but he never really tries to eat them. If you plant something in you enclosure that he does like it wont last long..
For a 3 year old tort I would say that enclosure is too small. A bigger space (as large as possible) with lots of plants so he cant see from one side to the next I think would be best.
What i like to do is wait and and get an idea of the little guys personality, and see what names come from that. It took about 3 weeks to name my tort till we finally came up with reggie. :)
My little man was the same way for about a month. I added a couple more plants for him to hide under and he out now for most of the day. If hes a new tort I wouldnt worry:)
I had an albino for about 8 years and he was awesome. The are VERY smart and playfull, mine actually figured out how to get on the kitcken counter so he could knock over cups, he also liked to steal black socks!
We've had our little guy for little over a month now, and hes super awesome. I got him/ her from tim and robin and hes been healthy and active from day one!
