All of my torts have slowed down on eating. At this time of year this is normal and I'm not worried at all.
But why does this happen?
As far as they are concerned temperatures have not changed, I can understand daylight time is shorter.
I was thinking it's in their programme, their body clock, but with redfoots they don't experience winters like we have in the wild, so that's that theory out the window.
Then I'm thinking is it because I'm not letting them outside any more, but that's not the case with my 2 groups of hingeback juveniles, because these guys have not been out for about 3 months and the eating has only slowed down in the last couple of weeks.
Can anyone explain to me why this happens please.
@tortadise, I remember you writing something about this in detail a while back. I Can't find it.
