Hello, I've owned water turtles all my life, but I'm entering new to the tortoise world.
I bought a tortoise at PetSmart and I was wondering if its normal for tortoise to not eat the first day home. He/she (not sure how to tell) walked all day in the enclosure and took some heat bathing but did not drink water or ate. I did put the turtle in water for 10 minutes while I fixed its new home. But did not see the turtle eat at all. Late in the evening he/she went to sleep and probably is out for the night.
Questions:
1. How do I get her/his appetite back ?, incase she/he continues to not eat.
2. How many hours do they sleep at night?
3. What greens is best to get it at a healthy color?
4.Are you suppose to keep the heater on all night at 95 degrees or less?
Thank you..
