2 year old spurthigh . Not eating.

[Leigh halsey]

Hi I am new to this site and would like some advice. I have had my spurthigh for 12 weeks and he has always eaten well. However he has not eaten for 3 days! Is this normal or should I be worried .

Welcome to the forum, I'm quite new here too. Pebble (my Russian) didn't eat for a few days I asked about it and it might be because your tort wants to hibernate. I moved my light down and hand fed mine for a bit and she was fine after

If you don't want your tortoise to hibernate, Leigh, be sure to keep his light on for 12 to 14 hours a day and keep him warm. They sense the shorter days and change in weather patterns and sometimes it's pretty hard to keep them awake during the winter.
