Hi everyone! I am a new russian tortoise owner and I just have a few concerns. My little girl wont eat anything, however she is pooping and is very active! She loves to dig in her substrate and sometimes I find that she's completely buried herself in it. I've tried putting some plants in her tank that I have researched and found are healthy for her to munch on (pansies and watercress) however she doesn't eat them, she just digs under them, pushes them, and sits on them. Does it just take time for her to get accustomed to her new environment? I picked her up on Friday and it is currently Monday. I've been putting food down for her every morning when I wake up, I feed her a spring mix of salad greens and I sprinkle a small amount of repti-calcium on them as I was told but she hasn't eaten any of it. She has gone into her water dish and drank water a few times though. Thanks in advance for the help and advice!
