So my 3 year old Russian tortoise hasn’t eaten since late September, it’s become very cold here in the U.K
She is bathed every day to keep her hydrated but I’m becoming more worried at how long she hasn’t eaten for
The temperatures are good in her enclosure ( 34 degrees C basking spot ), health checked regularly and everything looks fine
I didn’t hibernate her as she didn’t weigh enough beforehand, would a vet check up be adviced to make sure everything is fine? She sleeps a bit more during the day but is still lively and walks around as normal, how long can they actually go without eating with good hydration?
Thanks
