Hello, I've been trying to get some help from other sites, but no one seems to know what's wrong with my tortoise.
He's a male Russian, and he is acting very stressed out lately. He's been pacing alot, which would be somewhat normal, except he's been acting very frantic lately. He seems desperate to get out of his tank, despite having the glass blocked out so that he can't see beyond it or see a reflection. I take him out everyday to explore around a bit, outside too when the weather is fair, but it doesn't seem to calm him down much. When I last gave him a bath, he got even more stressed.
All this wouldn't worry me quite as much if he was eating. Recently, we've been able to get him some new, healthier greens, but after eating them the first day, he refuses to eat anymore, even if we give him his old stuff. I've caught him eating a small amount 2 times over the past week, and all other times his food is ignored, and he continues to act restless.
Is this a normal thing for males during the warmer months? I've only had him since December, so I wouldn't know, I'm afraid... But I know a male can possibly get aggressive.
