Hello!
I am a new tortoise owner and I have 2 baby Meditterean Spur thighs (breeder said they were girls)... I can honestly say that within 3 weeks of having them I am completely in love with them and they are the most adorable things I have seen.
Ive noticed at first when I got them, they were really slow, quiet, I'd handfeed them every morning, but they would spend most of the day sleeping and then at 4pm go to sleep for the night. I checked temperature, etc and everything was in accordance with guidelines. They had fresh food, fresh water daily, with calcium sprinkles. I soaked them daily, but I would find that they would eat and then go back into their little hide.
I thought maybe they were bored, so I kitted out the tortoise table with another hide, more pebbles, loads of hay and pellets. Now one of them is super excited, loves burrowing, climbing, walking around but the other one is still really quiet and just hides and tries to sleep all the time.
Why would this be? I make sure they both feed and both get a soak. Bit worried about her and not sure what to do.
Thanks!
