Hello there, New member here (Autumn) needing help and advice.
We got (from Kijiji) a little hermann tortoise two months ago. I think we have all done all the right things to give him a good home and happy life, but he just isn't active or anything. He never comes out from hiding, his food is hardly eaten and I am starting to get concerned about his lack of movement.
He has a nice enclosure with coco (sp) substrate, a hide, a number of plants, water dish, heat light 125w- basking temps at 80-90, ambient temps 70-75, humidity around 55% in the house and food (greens and weeds).
If we bring him out from hiding he'll eat, drink and bask for 10mins, we've given him baths (he poops) and he then goes right back to hiding. Any advice or suggestions on what we need to change would be greatly appreciated. He weighs 107g. I've attached some pics.
