My tortoise seems to be normally active but I’m not sure if he is bored or not. He walks around the habitat but doesn’t seem to interact much with items in the habitat(rocks,plants,flowerpot,etc). Maybe because he is new to the habitat and the new surroundings? I’m just not sure if he could have better things placed in his habitat.

Patrolling the boundaries checking that nobody is trying to invade or steal food is normal tortoise behaviour. They are very territorial. Break up the sight lines if you can so your tort cannot see the boundaries easily. But even when the territory is a very large garden you will find you have a frequently trampled tortoise path all the way round the fences. Joe was no different [emoji849]
