I have heard that tortoises are creatures of habit, so I have been keeping an eye on Odd since i got him so I could work out his routine and be aware of any changes.
Today he has been a bit odd (no pun intended!). The last few days he has only eaten a little of the food I put out and then gone to eat the spider plant in the enclosure and not eaten any more of what I put out. Today when I got home from work he was not in his hide as usual but was tucked into his shell under the spider plant. He hadn't even burrowed (he would sometimes burrow and hide under his food bowl when he lived in the smaller box). Do you think I should be concerned in this change in behaviour? Maybe I should take the plant away if he is not going to eat anything but that...
