Hi
I got a young horsfield tortoise at the weekend. He is not eating much, never drinks and sleeps a lot. I have given him several baths but not seen him drink. He is in a Viv at the minute but have ordered one with a mesh top as not sure if too hot for him. Cannot have a table due to having a cat. The temp in the cooler end is 25 degrees is this too hot. He is burrowing a lot. He has a basking lamp and uv light and Viv is 3ft. Substrate is half hemp and half pro rep tortoise life. I have tried dandelions, carrot, spinach, watercress, rocket and he also has constant access to water and pellets. Live in yorkshire in the UK. Any advice greatly appreciated as want him to be happy and healthy. TIA
