Thanks all, it's so good to have a space that I can ask questions and look up some answers when I'm unsure (which is a lot at the moment!) I bought him some Romaine Lettuce today and he's eaten more than he has for the last 2 days combined! He's just not really up and around - he buries...

This afternoon he has come out, eaten something, gone into his water bowl, drunk and had a poo! Now found his log and hasn't buried himself again..Must be safe now! :) I'll get the humidity up, thanks for the advice! Loving this forum by the way - so so useful so far!!

Awesome...that makes me a little less concerned...thank you! I'm in The Netherlands, which is why I'm up and about! I'll have a look around this site in the meantime...thank you so much! :)

Actually, one important question...should it be moist in there...I can't quite work it out!! (Sorry if I seem really stupid right now...I've wanted a tortoise for ages and I just want to do it all properly!)

I've got all the stuff that I was told to get, and it all seems right based on all the research (which is tons...thank you Google!). Temps are around 31-35 in the warm end (by the basking and UV lights) and between 24-27 in the cooler end! I have a 25W UVB 100 Exo-Terra and a 75W Daylight...

Hi all, My name is Lara and yesterday I brought home a 4 1/2 month old Horsfield Tortoise called Button...he's making me very nervous...all he has done is bury himself under his substrate (bark). He's eaten a grand total of about 3 leaves, when I put them in front of him, but not drunk...
