Hi all, am a new owner of a Hermann Tortoise and we've had him/her for about a week now and the shop said they where around 6 months old. Since we got him home hes been quite lively up until yesterday he's quite slow moving, eyes keep shutting and generally not crawling around much. We've got him on a large tortoise table, with UV light on of a day time and turn off of a evening. It's in my daughters room. He ate a bit yesterday and I have just give him some greens to eat now to see if he perks up a bit. Sometimes it looks as though he's breathing heavily sometimes with his head moving back and forth. Does this sound like normal behaviour do they have days like this sometimes, the only thing we've done differently in that time is add a small layer of hay within his habitat. Any ideas would be great thank you.
