I got my Russian tortoise girl, Luna, three days ago. She didn't eat or drink much the first day, which I expected since she just moved into her new home. However, I'm concerned she's not eating or drinking enough. I soak her once a day for about 20 minutes, and she never dunks her head in. I've also never seen her go to her water dish willingly. I always have to put her in or near it, and she'll stand there for a few minutes and then turn away, not having drank anything. I've been feeding her different stuff every day, with kale being the main food. I've also fed her green pepper (she loves it), carrots, and apples (which she wouldn't touch). Her poops are consistent with her morning soak and don't seem too watery or dry. Urates have only happened once from what I can tell, and it dried up before I could see it. She's still very active and likes to move around a lot to different basking positions. Is this normal and I'm freaking out for nothing, or should I be concerned?
