Hello Everyone!

i have been a proud owner of 2 russian tortoises. I bought both of them from local pet shop that has very good reputations. They say both are about 7 years old.

I joined here because the male on (JP) is not eating as much as my female one (Abby). In fact, i have 2 bowls, one for each, and Abby would eat her share and slowly walk over to JP's share and eat his.

I try to feed JP more but he doesn't seem to want to eat. I also noticed that he isn't as active.

Should i be worried?

Leo

PS: i have a custom wooden box setup, about 3ft by 5 ft. 1 area for basking, 1 big cave where both can fit in, 2 feeding bowls, 1 large shallow water bowl and a giant UVA/UVB light that stands on top of the entire area.

Hi!

Can you try separating them for a time and see how he does on his own? Do they get time outside in the sun?
