I’m a brand new Tortoise momma. Just brought my baby redfoot home last night. He’s awfully quiet and not eating. I’m assuming he’s adjusting to his new environment without his tortoise buddies but any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

You want to aim for temps in the mid 80s and humidity 80%+I’m a brand new Tortoise momma. Just brought my baby redfoot home last night. He’s awfully quiet and not eating.

Thank you. I held him for a while and he did seem cold. Once warm I was able to tempt him with strawberries ❤️Welcome to the forum.
