Hi all, just joined the forum so thought I'd introduce my 6-year-old Russian tortoise (re)named Harvey. Had him for around 4 months and he is a joy to keep! Built him and outdoor enclosure with a secure heavy-gauge mesh lid but he has been very lethargic as the weather here in the UK has been super hot. He has spent a lot of the time burrowed down in his enclosure and is eating much less than in the Spring. Took him to the vets last week cuz he had stopped eating but vet seemed to think he was fine apart from a growth line on his shell that suggested that he had grown a bit too quickly back in the Spring but apparently it wasn't much to worry about.
