Tortoise isn't happy : (

(West Bridgford, Nottingham, England.)

My beloved 4 year old hermanns tortoise (Timmy) really doesn't seem to be happy. he eats slowly, although i give him a pretty varied diet, and he paces round the garden or his tank a lot. he's been doing this for a few weeks now whereas before he loved to walk all over the garden, explore holes and occasionally hump things. His sleep patterns haven't really changed though and recently i spoke to the vet who said that he seemed perfectly healthy.

i really don't like seeing him like this. help!!
