That is what I am asking.Is the tortoise trying to hide from the light? If so it could be to hot.
The enclosure is about 65%-70% humidity.It also looks VERY dry.
Is that why he is piling up grass clippings?It also looks VERY dry.
It could be possible, can you get pictures of the whole enclosure?Is that why he is piling up grass clippings?
He is literally pushing the grass into piles. Then he moves the piles around.Since those piles look very dry, and the enclosure small, it could be the sully is simply walking about in cicles, each time dragging the snarled grass around and around. Over time, a ball of grass is formed.
Yea,@Tom told us that Tomas Diagne told him that wild sulcatas push dead grass down into their burrows. . . he thought they were packing it away for leaner times when food is scarce. Personally I've never seen this behaviour.
Give me a minute to get a picture.It could be possible, can you get pictures of the whole enclosure?
I don't agree,I have seen young sulcatas pull food into their hide, where they can eat it and be hidden. I have never seen any forms balls or piles. 2Bear is probably right.
