Hi guys
My tortoise recently started sitting in the water dish all day long, even though I give weekly soaks and he went to go sit in the water dish the day after I soaked him. His behavior is somewhat normal, he still eats. The only thing that changed majorly is that it is a lot colder and he is less active. Usually he falls asleep in the dish and wakes up a few hours after the light turns off and then goes to his hide. Today he didn't go to his hide, he just slept the entire time in his dish. Back then whenever he stepped into the water he would immediatley back out(he didn't like water)...is he sick?!?!? help plz!!!

Sometimes that indicates there is a health problem.
