Hello, new to the tortoise world. I bought this gal last week, enrolled her in pet insurance right away (still 1 weeks before it kicks in)… I offered her food the day she arrived and she ate it, but had not eat ever since. I have offered her dry and fresh veggies but still nothing. I have not seen her drink either, so I have been soaking her 30 mins every other day. I have been misting her enclosure twice a day. She has the following:
100W ceramic heat lamp
Mercury vapor bulb
Reptisand
Organic coco coir
She is not wheezing, sneezing nor has any nasal discharge. She is very sleepy and won’t move much unless picked up. I thought she was stressed from the shipping, but now I am a little concerned. Her body temp is 84F, her basking platform is 90F and the rest her enclosure varies from 70-80F (depending if the light reaches). Humidity is in the low 50%. What am I doing wrong?
