Tortoises don't like change. Sometimes it is pretty common for them to eat the first day or so then stop for awhile till they feel secure again. I would just make sure your temperature and humidity is ok and give it a few more days. It's a good sign that the tort is drinking. Try offering some fruit to get it going, banana, pineapple, or strawberry.Hello,
I’m new here and looking for some advice.
A week ago I got two baby cherry heads, about 3 months old. One of them (Atlas) won’t eat or poop, however she does drink a lot. She ate some hibiscus leaf and flower the first 2 days then pretty much stopped eating, and seeming hasn’t pooped since then as well. I live in, and keep them in a hot tropical environment so I doubt temperature is an issue. I’m offering most all foods including: hibiscus, shedded carrot, leafy greens, jicama(more recently), little bit of mango and papaya, no pellet food yet. The other Tortise loves to eat most all these things and poops 1-2 times per day (But He hides if not eating)
I think I saw the tiniest bit of poop from Atlas today, it was gray and really sticky /gooey. The only thought I had was that she ate some of the sphagnum moss I use in their hide box and is now impacted. I’m worried if this continues much longer she will die. What can i do for her?
thanks!
Great news. Pineapple is a favorite of my torts. I had the same problem you had with one when I first got him and pineapple was what got him going.Thanks for the tip on the pineapple. She ate a little bit of it this morning.
