I purchased my first sulcata tortoise yesterday! I was told it’s about 6 months old and it measures about 4 inches long. I have it set up in an indoor enclosure, 2ft by 4 ft plastic tub with a mixture of Timothy hay grass, organic soil and cypress mulch as the substrate, one large wooden hide, 2 terracotta plates for food/water, a tile for basking and a basking/UVB lamp. I’ve been keeping the temperature around 70-75 degF and humidity around 40%. The tortoise hasn’t eaten or really drank water since I’ve gotten it. All it really does is pace back and forth around the tub and scratches at the corners as well as sleep in the corner. I’m not sure if it’s my set up that isn’t working or it just needs more time to acclimate to the new environment.
I’d appreciate any tips! Thank you
