Hi guys. I'm a new owner to Herman tortoise. He/she is now 3months old. Gaining weight ok. Question is. Sleeps a long time and sometimes don't eat much at all. Is that normal or something to think about. Many thanks
Sounds to me like he's simply acting like a baby..and babies sleep a lot...what are you feeding him?Hi guys. I'm a new owner to Herman tortoise. He/she is now 3months old. Gaining weight ok.

Thanks for the reply. He's having dandelions, plantain, florette crispy and clover so far but more advice would be much welcoming thanks.Sounds to me like he's simply acting like a baby..and babies sleep a lot...what are you feeding him?
Hi. His substrate is now fully from a Coco brickPlease give us a run down of enclosure, substrate, basking area temp and type of bulb. Over all temp and night temp.
List all bulbs and heat sources used.
Posting pics of enclosure and lighting helps a lot too.
Yes, as Maggie said, baby tortoises sleep a lot. But if lighting and/or heat is off then that could be a reason.
Also this time of year, hibernating species, even if not allowed to hibernate, all seem to sleep more and eat less.
