Hey guys, my Arizona desert tortoise eating has slowed over the past few weeks and basically stopped a few days ago. Shes also become pretty inactive.
I recently moved her from her outside habitat to an inside 40 gallon terrarium that I just bought. Its been getting cold out at night so that's why I brought her in. I soak her every other day for 20 minutes, she drinks a fair amount still. She hasn't pooped in a while, the last time I soaked her was yesterday and some of that white calcium stuff came out. Hot side of her habitat is about 92, cold side is 80. Humidity is 58%. Her diet consists mainly of spring mix and assorted greens like bok Choy, parsley and other greens that I switch every few days. She's a year and a half old and weighs about 12.7 ounces
I'm unsure if this is an emergency, I am wondering if I screwed up her hibernation pattern somehow by bringing her in from the colder weather into a warm habitat? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
