This is Annie, hello!
I just have a couple of questions about my wee one year old Horsefield tortoise Yoda, who arrived on Friday 28th September.
I have made him in a tortoise table which is 6ft by 2st and has a foot of topsoil, there's an upper gallery which means there's a dark area under there.
I'm changing his water and leaving out fresh food every day but the
thing is, he hasn't eaten or drunk since he arrived, and I know it takes them a while to settle in, but he's digging down and disappearing under the soil, should I just leave him to come out when he chooses?
Or should I be taking him out and bathing him to make sure he's hydrated?
I'm worried he buries himself alive and can't breathe down there.
Thanks in advance,
