It takes new tortoises a couple weeks to acclimate to a new habitat. I might say, though, that if you have two tortoises in that habitat, it may be a tad too small for them. Also, tortoises are solitary animals and most times don't get along with having another tortoise in their space.

Are you using dirt as substrate? You might be happier with coco coir. It still gets on everything as they traipse through it, but it seems a lot cleaner.

Like I said in my previous post, it sometimes takes a couple of weeks for them to settle in.

if you had a larger area...One with cooler and warmer areas and dryer and damper areas, they might settle down into a certain place. Watch the round logs. They could flip over on them. I wouldn't worry about the not eating for one day. Mix it up with the food. Find something that they can't resist. I use banana for a treat.
