My 3year old horsfield is active, basking, destructive, everything he usually is, but he doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. I used to put his food down and he would rush over and start gobbling but he's not really interested at the moment. Should I be worried? He usually has a mixture of weeds eg plantain, dandelion leaves and the odd flower, red and white clover, geranium leaves, the leaves off a strawberry (treat) and pellets in the winter but I try not to offer them in the summer.
Have measure all of the temps and they are all the recommended, he has an MVB bulb, burrow, daily soaks, cuttlebone available, shade, basking area, topsoil for digging. I have noticed he keeps digging at one corner In his enclosure all the time and this worries me too, the walls of his enclosure arent overly high, they are 9inches. Could this be why do you think I should add to them maybe? Any suggestions for his eating? He does eat, but it just doesn't seem like much, and he is more interested in rampaging around his enclosure than the food
Oh and I also keep trying him with cactus too, but he just destroys it and doesn't seem to recognise it as food. And he has a tortoise seed mix growing in his enclosure too, which are all just little at the moment but looks like he has had a nibble on some of them. He also has rocket leaves too.
