Hello to all from here over the pond in england. I am a recent tortoise convert and acquired a baby horsfield about 4 months ago. I did all the research online & got a couple of books on the subject before I purchased as I intend to keep the tortoise indoors, and, with luck I've got the setup and the living conditions ok for the little guy/gal, I'm not sure what sex it is yet?? Not that I'm bothered. Tortoise settled in well, eating fine, temps up to what is required, he tends to sleep under a lot bridge rather than burrow down into the substrate. I'm not sure if he got something in his right eye recently? It's quite runny & he tends to rub it on occasion? He also has gone off his food, become inactive & just wants to bask all the time. It's getting cold here in the uk, so maybe his body clock is calling hibernation??? Even tho he is too young & small to hibernate, but I am worried about his eye, anything I could do for him? Anyway he/she is dead cute & I am looking forward to many years together
