Hi all! I am new to this forum. I am a first time tortoise owner, and have done tons of research but wanted to ask experienced owners...
My new little guy is a russian tort. I adopted him off craigslist, with his habitat. He seems healthy, he is active, and his enclosure is large enough. I have a ceramic heater and a UVB lamp, as well as a hide. After three days, I have yet to see him eat though. He shows no interest in food. His previous owner said that he didn't seem to like vegetables or greens...they wondered if the place they got him only fed him pellets.
So, two questions:
1. is it normal for him to not be eating??
2. how do I reintroduce vegetables into his diet??
Thank you for your help!!
