Hey all -
I've got a question on the pancake tortoises activity levels.
For the most part, the little pancake is reserved and spends most of his time hiding in a coconut shell. Relatively inactive, except when I'm putting food in the enclosure. Then it's a mini-sprint to the dish.
But some days he'll surprise me and spend a solid amount of time pacing back and forth, climbing on rocks, and just wandering. Other days, he'll form a pretty extensive barricade and only leave to eat once and not come back out again.
I'm concerned that if there are more days hidden away than actively out, the little fella won't get sufficient UV light.
Temperature is all good. Enclosure has temperatures ranging from low mid 80s to high 90s. Humidity is around 50% (give or take). Eats regularly and poops regularly. I've tried bringing the little 'cake outdoors, and it absolutely didn't like it.
Any one have any thoughts, tips or tricks? Or am I concerned over nothing?
