hi peeps, sorry I been posting quite a bit recently but trying to be more active on the forum.
I am providing some photos down below, of my lil guy just so people can tell me if they see anything wrong with him.
He been acting a lil strange recently, and today I also WAYY over fed him thinking he wouldn't eat it all but put as much out as was getting fresh stuff tomorrow. (I was wrong this lil guy ate like 3x the size of him worth of food).
Due to this he has slept in places he hasn't before and well yeah I think I have a sort of PTSD off when I first got him, any signs of lethargicness I go hyper worry.
I just had him down on the floor to take them photos and he took a mega poop that took like 30 seconds for him to pass through, then he also jet spray weed like 20 seconds later with a lil bit of poop that came out too.
Im not sure if it were painful or not bc his right leg he seemed to just drag when walking (ill provide a video here:
)
How much "should" I feed him as when he is hungry he just tries to eat anything so I been giving him more food as of recent so he stops trying to eat his log or my fingers instead.
Don't get me wrong bc of shifts he does't get out a lot. I used to work 2 days 2 night (12 hours) now im just working a full 4 days (12 hours), yes I get 4 off too so not too bad but for those 4 days there is no interaction aside from his food gets put out. My mother occasionally says hello to him but that's about it.
I kinda want a bigger sized enclosure for him, I thought 4ft vivarium was massive originally but I want to give the little guy more space, hopefully try get a running wheel up for him.
I am just wondering if he looks fat or healthy at all, it's my first time and I've owned him for roughly a year in a few months. I don't think he is too old and I know he is microchipped, is there any way to know the exact age? The sellers said he was a year but others said he didn't look a year when I got him, so I am taking a guess and say he is about a year and a half old. The sellers (was a reptile shop) and they told me incorrect information to start with so im reluctant to believe them.
Thank you ppl, this the best place I know to make some tortoise expert friends and for me to ask questions B)
