Help I bought a 9 month old marginated 2 n half weeks ago .avent seen him eat anything my temps 98 and 85. 60 humidity I'm getting anxious
We need more info. How are you housing it? Heating and lighting equipment? Are you soaking daily? Are you using a coil type bulb for UV? A pic of the tortoise and enclosure would help.
Tortoises' size and weight varies greatly depending on environment, diet, genetics etc, so the answer is I don't know. the guys need a picture if poss.Wot should he weigh for his / her age
He's aving same as.reptile shop gave him spring mixWhat are you offering as food? What is its general behavior? Hiding, basking, roaming, etc.
Hi I am giving him same as reptile shop but I av now tried all different food I am trying to post pics . I av 7 tortoises in total all thriving I.do hide when feeding n he just walks away I'm so.worried . I put him on table after a week off not eating reptilia said baby's beta in viv till 2 years for humidity but still no.eatingBaby tortoises are prey. They don't appreciate someone standing over them and watching them. It makes them feel like they are going to be eaten. Set him in front of the food then quickly move out of sight. You can peek around the corner to see if he's going to eat.
What are you feeding him? You may have to contact the previous owner and ask what the tortoise is used to eating. Sometimes if you change a baby's diet, he doesn't recognize the new food item as 'food.'
Hi I av not seen him poo or wee either . Lights come at 7 till.8 . 10 mins afta lights on he's out basking after hour I bath him n place in front off food he sits looking or walks away . He is active till.bout 3 then he goes under his humid hideTortoises' size and weight varies greatly depending on environment, diet, genetics etc, so the answer is I don't know. the guys need a picture if poss.
Is he drinking water? Pooping or peeing? Is it possible he's eating when you're not watching?
It is normal for torts to take a while to settle in to a new home and perhaps because you changed from a tortoise table to a vivarium the problem could be doubled. A vivarium is often not a better idea than a good sized tortoise table, your pet shop were doing their job and just selling you something.
What food are you offering?
