Hi! I had just purchased a tortoise at Pet Smart about a week ago. They had told me that he was a “testudo tortoise” and upon more research I guess there’s different kinds of Testudo tortoises. I wanted to figure out which one mine is exactly so I can care for him properly. He isn’t eating very much and is always trying to go sleep in his little house. I’ve been soaking him everyday for at least 15 minutes to make sure he is at least drinking some water. I just want to know if that behavior is normal for a newly homed, younger tortoise. Or if I am doing something wrong. The temp ranges from 88 degrees Fahrenheit to 95 degrees Fahrenheit depending on what light he has on. I’m feeding him food pet smart sold me mixed with fresh kale. He went poop in his soak this morning so I'm guessing he is eating at least a little bit that I may not be seeing.
Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong and if any of you lovely people can help me figure out exactly what type of tortoise my little guy is! Thank you! My name is Libby and my tortoise is Scooter!
