i recieved a redfoot tortoise "hatchling" (more like 3-4 inch juvi) from reptile city yesterday .
thus far i have not been able to get him to show interest in his food.
i can't get him to eat.
i figured he would be hungry because he was in transit for atleast 24 hours.
no luck yet.
i offered romaine and collard greens lastnight. setting the bowl infront of him. and i left it in there for a few hours thinking maybe he would eat when we left the room. no go .
he simply bobs his head up and down . (does this mean something?)
and any ways i can entice him to eat? or do i just have to wait it out?
