I am a new to the hobby of tortoise husbandry. I have done as much research I can possibly do to be able to provide the best living conditions I can for my baby tort. I recieved my tort on 3/13/19. I immediately soaked him and then tried to feed greens. He would not eat. I then placed him in him tub enclosure and went about life to let him do his thing. I am running a 150w CHE and a UV strip lamp hanging on the side of the enclosure with a 150 heat lamp on my hot end. Both the element and the light are about 20 inches from the floor. I have a fogger running 24/7. And can obtain 90 degrees on the hot side and about 85 to low 80s on the cool side with >75% humidity. I have tried to feed him the day after on 3/14/19. Pineapple diced with mazuri crushed on top. He took one bite and drug the piece back to the hide. I left the pineapple in the and it looked like it had been moved around but not really alot missing. I tried leafy greens again last night and just left them in there. But hes not eating any real quantity should I be worried?He just likes hanging out in the damp moss in the hide. Is this normal hatchling behavior?
