Hey y’all! I’m new to this website but I have learned a lot just from reading other discussions. I have had my Russian tortoise (Darnell) for a few months now. I think he is around 5 years old. Recently I got him a new enclosure and ever since I put him in there he has been sleeping non stop. I give him plenty of leafy greens and keep water in his cage at all times. The enclosure has a shaded area as well as an outside play area to move around. I made sure he’s not dead because every time I touch him, he wakes up. But then shortly after, he falls back asleep. He will move around the cage sometimes but not as much as I would like him to. Does anyone have any tips for this? I’ve had three tortoises/box turtles before and they have never done this. I would also like to add that it is summer time here in Charleston and the weather is hot. Anything will help. Thank you!
