i have a desert tortoise i just recently rescued from some weirdos that werent taking good care of him..hes about 4 yeas old or maybe a little more. i was planning on helping him hibernate but hes a little underweight and was poorly fed. from what i know he was on a lettuce only diet. he only wants to eat lettuce now even tho i offer him other greens and dried grass mix/alfalfa pellets etc..and when i do give in and give him lettuce (i tired mixing it in with other food and i didnt fool him) he hardly eats any lettuce at all just a couple bites and this is not daily...just when ever he feels like it! my questions are...Is he just not hungry because hes supposed to be hibernanting right now?? today is Nov 7th. Hes also sluggish?? is that normal?? and hes pooping dirt like really dirt!?? someone help!
