So my russian tortoise started getting restless right after few month I brought him home from a PETS store.
Initially he was in small 40 gallon tank, later I figured out that I was fooled into buying this for 10+year tortoise. I decided to make him an enclosure myself, so now he lives in a 6x5 indoor enclosure, two heater spots, live trees, humidity about 40-60%, temprature always around 85-92 right under the lamps, and nice hideouts too.
But after a month enjoying his enclosure, he is again super restless.keep scratching all walls.
He even have 2nd floor, he goes up to that floor and scratches walls for hours.
Now, he hardly drink any water. And diet is less too.
Not sure what's going on ;( where am I lacking.
