I adopted three CA desert torts a few years back...based upon the PO's expericence of 40+ years, never had hatchlings...I was suprised to stumble upon a clutch of eggs this year ( 1st time in several years since adoption ) and even more suprised when gardening Sunday to find a baby crawling around...
I've seen some websites to help me set up his indoor home, ( converted 10-gallon fishtank with garden dirt ), but I don't know if he's healthy...no discharge or anything wierd, but the source of my concern is that he is not eating...I chopped some romaine and put it on his dish yesterday - nothing...i chopped some dandelion greens this morning and put in on his new feeding rock and put him right next to it and I did not see him munching...
Is there too much change too quickly for him? I plan to keep him warm and awake this winter because I don't know how long its been since he's hatched and I want to make sure he has enough to eat/drink...
Any advice/comments would be appreciated...
