    Tortoise moving a lot after changes in enclosure

    It seems like everytime I add substrate and move around my leopard tortoises enclosure (his hides, food and water dishes, decorations) he goes around the enclosure for a couple hours and is very active. To me it seems like he's just exploring, but I also wonder if maybe he's stressed out?

    Worried About my Hatchling Leopard Tortoise

    I've had Victor, my leo, for almost 6 months now. Today I went home to feed him, I gave him some spring mix and mazuri pellets that I soaked in water and broke apart. While he has eating, I poured some water in his water dish, then when it looked like he wasn't chewing anymore I picked him up...
