Hello,
I have a Russian tortoise roughly 18months old. The last few weeks he has been sleeping almost constantly. I think I’ve seen him awake only a handful of times over the past few weeks. He is eating and drinking a tiny bit. We have tried to wake him by taking him out of his bed and he vaguely opens his eyes then goes back to sleep again. When he’s asleep his head isn’t in his shell, it just kind of flops out. He looks to be shedding too. Any advice? Is this normal? Is he trying to hibernate?
Thanks
