My tortoise who is approx 2 years old seems to be sleeping a lot.
We have been home these last two days and yesterday he naturally woke up about 1pm and today we are still waiting to see him (10 to 3).
When I am at work I can see he's been up as most of his food is gone but when I am at home I know he is never awake for long.
His lamp is set at about 85 degrees, the temp at the cold end is 74 degrees during the day and when the lights go off at night it drops to about 64 degrees.
Sometimes I wake him up but I am not sure I should do this. He seems to poo every few days and when I soak him he always wees and sometimes poos.
Should I wake and soak him more often or is he ok as long as he is eating?
I should have said he has always seemed to sleep a lot (we've had him about 2 months) but I am sure he is sleeping more and more.
