Hello, we are new owners to a 1 1/2 year old male Russian tortoise. We have had him for about a month. We built him a big beautiful indoor enclosure- wooden, open top and have everything he needs in there. He has been doing fine ( definitely not very active- but we are new to tortoises and assuming that’s normal. ) We soak him about every other day.
The last few days he has become very sleepy/ lethargic acting and has did not eat yesterday or today so far.
We also built him a screened outdoor enclosure and He did enjoy that when it was warmer out. Now it has cooled down so he hasn’t been out in a few days.
He is definitely not acting “ normal” and we are wondering what we should do.
I have called several local vets and no one deals with reptiles.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
