I'm worried that Lola is unhappy right now - he is very active doing a lot of pacing and not eating much unless I feed him or sit by his plate - just walks through it. otherwise. Wondering if he's reached sexual maturity and is looking for a mate. Been reading Joesmum's posts about hormone implants.

I went through that with Jay when I first moved.
Thankfully after a couple carrot soaks and time she came back to her normal self

It's spring. The hormones start flowing. They usually settle down. Keep up the soaks and don't forget that hungry tortoises usually eat. Don't get caught in the hand feeding trap - you could end up with a tort that will only eat from you.

Joe was as an exception. His pacing was constant, almost manic, even when he was too cold to walk properly he would be trying to pace, just very slowly.

Just a thought, has he outgrown his enclosure? Is it time for a bigger one?
