Hello all, we got our tortoise last Saturday with a starter set. He’s a baby Herman called Koopa Jafar (my son got to pick the name!). When we got him he weighed 57g but today he only weighs 50g! Should I be worried? I hardly see him eating and he won’t touch the pellets provided by the seller (no matter how wet I make them), but he will eat some Kale if given to him.
We have bathed him every other day and I’ve cleared poo from his enclosure every morning after he wakes. We have a routine that fits in with my son, so the basking lamp comes on at 7am and goes off at 8pm when the heat mat goes on in the bedroom.
Any help or advice you can give would be appreciated.
Is it worth me getting a seed mix to grow our own mix of food for him?
I’ve included pictures of our enclosure for your information but he also has supervised walks on our laminate floor.
