Oh thank you! I honestly didn’t know I was supposed to soak the pellets until they were soft. I feel so bad now!
I will try to insulate the sides to keep the temps up more during the day or maybe get a second heat lamp. Do you think it being warmer at night than day is confusing him?
I will...
I live in the northern Midwest so he’s been inside for about two months now though. He’s in the same enclosure as he is outside except the bottom isn’t grass from the yard, it’s a tarp liner with lots of coconut fiber bedding (about three inches) so he hasn’t experienced any real weather...
Hello!
I have a Hermann’s tortoise that is about 4 years old. I’ve had him for about 9 months and he is my first reptile. He’s been acting kind of strange lately and I don’t know why.
It started about a week ago when I noticed he wasn’t eating very much of his food.
I got him kale and green...
