Hey yall I'm new to owning a tortoise! I have a 3 month old sulcata that I've had about a week. He is currently in a terrarium with coconut fiber substrate, gets uvb and heat during the day (stays about 100°F) on one side of his tank, during the night he has an inferred lamp (stays about 90°F), he gets calcium and soaked every other day, he also eats grassland tortoise food, kale, and aloe vera (with spines taken off).
My question is that he just seems unhappy, he doesn't seem to be eating much, he doesn't really move around much, and he just kinda stays in his house majority of the day. When I went to pick him up from the breeder he was the most active out of all the tortoises there which is why I'm a little concerned .... I wanna try and be the best tortoise momma I can be and keep him happy. Please If yall can give me any help or advice on how to help my baby tort please let me know!
