Hi all,
My tortoise looks depressed. He’s been doing great eating and growing and has enjoyed a summer outside most days in the heat. He has thrived.
Now the weather is not so good he is just sat at the glass looking completely miserable and I find him going into his hide and sleeping a lot. He’s till eating and alert, just looks sad.
I’m thinking of making a new enclosure with an open top, more like a table. I think I can make it more like the outdoor with lots more planting. My vivarium closed chamber is really dark wood combined with dark brown orchid bark it’s all a bit miserable.
I found a bookcase at IKEA that is about 1.5 foot by 5ft. He’s still only small (85g) but I think it could work for this coming winter.
I cannot look at him at winter looking sad.
Any ideas?
