I have 2 sulcatas. One 12" and is a male and he comes out to graze during the day (here in AZ) sometimes for a few hours or other times twice a day. But the other tortoise I got (a week or so ago) who is 10" (female?) hasn't come out for 2 days. She was out last week and on sunday grazing but I didn't see her yesterday and today she has not come out. I took her out today twice (it was 70 degrees and sunny) but she didn't want to stay out and just went back in both times. The temps are fine in their enclosure and she doesn't appear sick. We're new to sulcatas but I'm assuming since it is a little bigger that it can go several days without eating? Any input? Or maybe she is eating the timothy hay inside her enclosure? That could be a possibility- we do put fresh hay for them inside.
