Thank you all for being there.
two issues:
1. Eating. My russian tort Vova only eats romaine lettuce or a similar leafy lettuce. ALL has been tried. Including pureeing romaine and putting over other greens. No go. If I leave say turnip greens, kale, dandelion greens - he won't eat, period. Introduce romaine back - crunch-crunch.
2. Activity. If I don't take him out in the morning to bask and/or soak then bask, he will just stay burried or in his hide. Should I let him be? I am afraid he is trying to brumate again. Or should I take him out every other day?
Also he does not walk much - used to be quite a traveler, in the big enclosure outside. Inside, he has a large pen, but won't walk it.
THANKS!
