So iv had my reznov for almost 3 years and the only time he is happy is in his house. Any other time hes trying to escape and just seems stressed out when hes in the tub he has the right temp of water and is just runing into the walls the hole time. We pick him up and he is always just trying to get away. We bring him outside to run the grass he just runs off. I dont no how i can make him happyer i feed him good he has a gaint cage amd even in there he digs up his plants knocks everything down moves everything around .i just dont understand how to make him happy. i talk to him every day try, hand feeding he doesnt go for that ,try feeding him outside he doesnt care .hes just stressed the whole time what am i doing wrong. How can i make him happy outside of his cage also?
I also have a baby redfoot tortoise i dont put them together and hes happy loves to be held comes up to us when we speek eats out of our hands some times chills in his bad even squeeks at us

Could you provide some pictures of your enclosure? And what is the size? People will be able to give you more advice that way.

I agree with above. Pics would help. And more details on enclosure, temps, lighting and food etc.
