Last night we collected our new 6 month old marginated Tortie.
True to what we were told he went straight into the hiding house in the table and won't come out.
This morning we took him out and bathed him and changed his food. He was not impressed and went straight back into hiding. I've taken him out again and handled him for some time. He has pooed and let me rub his chin and on a few occasions gave what looked like a big yawn.
He is still refusing food and when I put him back under the lamp, he ran back into the hide.
I know this is a bit of a shock to him and I can't expect him to feel instantly at home.
Can anyone tell me when I should start to worry as I really want to do what is best for him.
Thanks
