I hope you all can help me. My Russian tortoise, Jelly, has been pacing his enclosure (40 ft. long aquarium) back and forth, for several weeks. I've tried everything! covering the side walls so he can't see outside, soaking him (afterwards he still paces), I changed his substrate back to reptibark (enough so he could burrow). I've read there are three reasons a tortoise paces but even checking that doesn't help. I'm at my wits end. I'm about to take him to the vet to see if he has any ideas but I thought I'd try to get help from the great people on this forum first. Thanks for any and all help you can provide. Lisa and Jelly
