concept of time

[HtVic]

I have been checking him out for 2 days, today is the 3rd day
he always come out at 5pm and checking everything around, then go back to his hide by 7:30pm, he did this routinely
and I found this out from breeder, that he feed him the end of noon, and the beginning of evening..no wonder...my lucky properly thinking where is my food, where is mom and dad...lol

I think this is cute, in the mean time, he might misses his family./
he is still adjusting the new time in a new environment.

So, are you adjusting to his schedule or are you going to make the poor little baby adjust to yours

I dono....hahaha
right now is 6:35pm, he is eating now.....I am so happy to see that....but not much
on the other hand, do I REALLY have to follow his schedule>>>>
the thing is for the pass 3 days, he only came out around this time, so I have to leave foods there all the time...

This is called 'developing a routine', and it is generally considered to be a very good thing to be reasonably consistent with care schedules. It helps the tortoise establish a rhythm to its life and reduces stress.
