by ed
(great yarmouth united kingdom)

hi
my new spur thighed tortoise is approx 18 months old we collected her two days ago and since then she has only eaten on the first day that we brought her home and slept since, we have the uvb and heatlamp set on a timer from 6am to 6pm, with the heat mat and probe set to maintain a heat of 81 deg F at all times, should we be worried?? are we doing something wrong..

Tortoise not eating
by: Stevie

It will take a while for the tort to become familier with it's new surroundings. If it hasn't eaten after two weeks seek vetinary advice. Mine did the same and after an antibiotic injection the tort began to eat and become more active.
