Hello All, Just joined the forum.
Needed some advice, I bought 2 tortoises (Spur Thighed) about, id say nearly 2 months ago now. I didn't buy them both together i bought 1 first then the second a week later from the same breeder. I bought a complete Setup from him Table (Think it's more of a Indoor Plastic rabit cage) Ill upload pictures of my setup in a min.
The first tortoise i got seems to be fine she is eating a lot,very active first up last, one to bed...lol.
The second one i got however seems to be sleeping most the time, She is eating but not a lot and at the moment im having to get her up and put her near the food today i did giver her food from my hand which she ate again not eating alot of food, then she starts eating. She is also a bit smaller than the first one.
Here is some more detail about what im feeding, Enclusure, Temps.
Thanks
