Hi! I just got my first tortoise (Greek) and I'm a little worried. It's two years old, captive-bred, certificate says country of origin Turkey. Got him two days ago. He hasn't eaten (tried mixture of weeds/wild flowers and a carrot) or even moved much (had two little goes, and gone maybe 10cm from where he was placed). Seems to be very sleepy (eyes closed for most of the time). I'm aware that he is still very young and a change in environment must be very stressful for him and that's the result (?). What's the best thing to do? How long can he go without food?
The enclosure (tortoise table) is properly arranged and heated, lights, tiny water bowl etc. There is a house/hide out, but he hasn't make use of it yet.
