Brand new reptile owner . Got my make tortoise from a pet sore last Saturday. Yoda we named him has been behaving as follows:
He is in a 40 gal enclosure, seems to want to hibernate Even though enclosure temp is 90 degree (hot side)and 65 degree (cold side) it hasn’t eaten in 8 days . I have been putting him and warm bath daily to keep him hydrated, hardly any poops or pee anymore. No signs if diarrhea. Every time I put him back he burrows . Should I let him be and stop the bathing ? Continue the light on/off schedule? Will he die from hibernating in regular “awake” temps ?? Help !!
