Thanks, that's some really useful info- sorry if I seem a bit thick! What food would you suggest I put down for him? He was fed a lot of what people suggest not to before- should I try to wean him off this slowly or just start on proper diet straight away?
Thanks!
Thanks, going to take him into the specialist reptile shop tomorrow and ask them to have a look! Also need a new thermometer! Have been weed collecting today so hopefully can tempt him with something! Is it usual for torts to sleep a lot at this time of year? Thanks x
RE: new Herman - worried that he's not eating
Hi -thanks for the welcomes!! I'm in the east of england -pretty nippy here!! I've bought him a 60w basking lamp bulb, but he seems to prefer sleeping in the 'cool side' of is new house burrowed into the bedding. Should i get him a heat mat too...
Hi all - new to this; just rehomed a very handsome 4 year old Herman's from a woman who couldn't care for him anymore. He came to me in a tiny glass fishtank with a 40w spotlamp painted purple. I've changed this for a 60w and a UVA/B light plus a new rabbit cage - but he's not eating much...
new Herman - worried that he's not eating
Hi all! Recently bought a 4 year old tort from a woman who couldn't look after him anymore- he is gorgeous! He loves to speed around the house and loves his baths but doesn't seem to be eating anything. He's been with us for 3 days now - any suggestions...
