I am VERY worried about my Russian tortoise. I have had him for about 6 day's total. Before I got him he lived at Petco for about 1 year. The store said he ate and moved around just fine.
He is NOT moving around very much or eating. Maybe for about 10 minutes total through out the whole day he will move around. He mainly just sleeps under the log I got him under the heat light. The temperature in the habitat is about 87-91 during the day. Then at night I pull the heat lamp back and drop the temp down to about 76-80.
He still under a guarantee , Honestly I don't want to return him I have been becoming attached to him but I also don't have money to go to the vet and it's not fair to the Russian also so If I need to I will return him.
Can someone tell me what might be going on and also some things to try. I have been told it's all to do with the stress but I am getting worried since it's been longer then 5 days now with little food being munched on nd hardly much movement at all
Thanks
