I got a small Russian tortoise two days ago and we put a background on the back of his tank, and he seem to sit there and always stare at it as if he thinks he could walk right through it (he really wants to escape). My tortoise hasn't been eating or drinking, and I read online that glass tanks can be bad for adjusting tortoises because it stresses them because they just want to get out so bad, and they can't. I also read that you should put a 2-3 inch strip of a solid color in front of the background to teach them that they cannot get out. Should I do this stuff, and is my tortoises stressed out because of the glass and the background?
