I got a horsfield tortoise in January which I believe is around a year old. I wasn't told. And it's now gone November and he hasn't rlly put on any weight. He's around the 57g mark. He went up to 62g but went down again. I feed him spring greens. Peppers. Kale. Cress. Strawberry (only once in a while) I find he is a fussy eater and only eats a very few things. I give him baths and calcium supplements and put him on the grass outside around twice a week as its very cold at the moment. I took out one end of the tank so he can roam around so he doesn't feel trapped. (please let me know if this is a bad idea due to heat or it doesn't matter as its not the side with the heat. Under his lamps its 30 degrees and he also has places he can hide. He always digs and hides and buries in dark places and especially in the corners of the tank. Plz can someone help. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I don't want him to he ill or anything serious to happen.
