3 year old sulcata

lately my sully has been moving around very slow, when usually he is pretty quick to get around. i moved him into a larger enclosure recently, and thats when his slow movement started, i am unsure if the two are connected. I look forward to your sugguestions, thanks for your help

maybe he is just trying to get used to his new enclosure. My box turtles act different when I change things around in theirs

While I don't have a Sulcata, I do have many other types of Tortoises and have always known a difference of regular habits anytime I've changed their habitat, they will take a few days before they act normally. I've learned that my Tortoise are very careful and alert to any dangers around them, and because of that they need to secure their new surroundings before venturing out in ease. I would watch your Sulcata for a few more days before becoming alarmed. If you still see no positive changes take your Tort to a vet. He may of ingested
something that doesn't agree with him in his new enclosure.
