Hi guys
Just need a bit of advice please, Donny is 4 1/2 now and is an indoor tort. He hasn't hibernated yet for various reasons but his behaviour and activity levels have remained constant throughout the year so far.
How ever this year has been a bit different in December he was very very active way more than normal and for that time of year but after Christmas he started to slow right down. Over the last month he was coming out of his hide in the morning getting a couple of minutes under his basking light having a few bites to eat then straight back off to bed, not his usual active self. Some days he would stay under his hide but look out watching us as normal. Now he is just sleeping and doesn't come out at all.
Is he hibernating? Should I pull him out to check him? I don't want to disturb him if he's sleeping but worried there might be something wrong. I weighed him a week ago and he hasn't lost any weight yet but then he hasn't eaten at all this week. We are in the Uk so it's still chilly but his lights and temps have remind constant.
Any advise on what to do?
