Hello,
I have a 4 year old Sulcata who has always been very healthy. Suddenly a week or so ago he became mostly interested in sleeping all day and not very interested in food. This is a big change as he has always been very active. He is free to roam around the house and has a 6x6 foot room with sand a heat lamp where he spends most of time, so he has a good set up. Mostly I am wondering if any experienced Sulcata owners have seen their tortoise slow down in the winter? I plan to take him to a vet, but they don't see tortoises often so I would love any thoughts from anyone who has kept sulcatas to know if theirs slow down in winter. Thanks for any thoughts on this!
