Hello fellow tortoise lovers ! My name is grace and I am 14 years old . I just got a baby leopard tortoise yesterday . I have read so much about these cute guys and how to take care of them . But I am a little concerned about his health conditions at the moment . At the pet store he had bright eyes , was moving around , drinking (all the normal things tortoises do) and yesterday he was moving so much when I put him in his new home. I was concerned this morning when I found him sleeping still , he is still a baby , but he has been sleeping all day , not moving too much besides eating . Should I be worried ?? I have a heat pad and uvb lamp , and tomorrow I am putting cypress mulch in his home . I also have hide holes. Is it normal for him to sleep this much?? Is he sick?? Should I be worried??
