Hello
So we rescued an RT that was walking around in the community in Dubai. We appealed to find the owner but no one came forward so we decide to adopt him.
I have done as much reading as i can absorb but we just need some direct help from owners of this kind of tort.
He is eating well, once a day and pretty much eats all the food. BUT then he pretty much goes into a corner and in his shell for most of the day. He may come wondering out, but likes to stay put. It is around 24 - 25 Degrees C in Dubai right now. We bring him inside in the later afternoons as it can get as low as 13 degrees C.
Is this normal for him? anything we should be concerned about OR look into?
We have made him a pretty big area to roam around in with a verity of surfaces to explore.
What temperatures can these guys handle. I am more concerns about the spring and summer months. What preparation do i need to consider for that period?
any help and guidance would really be appreciated as i do not know anyone reliable who has kept torts in this area.
Thank you in advance.
