I'm a little concerned with my George, the last two days, he's seemed off. He comes out in the morning, sits under his lamp to warm up (30-32C) but just doses there for most of the day, He will move to feed a little, but not as much as he normally would, we have left overs!! (Hes a greedy one normally doesn't leave a scrap of food) Then goes back to his lamp. Hes also started to retire for the night earlier than normal, his light is on a 12h cycle. 8am to 8pm. Tonight he came out of his burrow at 6pm, walked a little, fed and then went right back into his burrow.
The room temp is around 19-21C all day long. Night temps drop to 18C. I've sat and watched him, and as he is drifting off to sleep and he seems to pull his head and arms into his shell and screw his eyes up like he is bracing, or pushing. He doesn't raise his bottom, like he normally would to poop or pass urates. Then goes back to normal, He'll do this a few times before finally drifting to sleep.
Hes going to the toilet as normal. (Usually on his food tray... of all the places he could go!)
Hes still young, only 8mths to a year old. so i suppose like most babies, sleep is a common thing but its the bracing, and wincing that's got me worried.
It could be normal behavior, but i'm a noob at all this
