Is Daisy sick? Every time I go into my room I see her and she is burrowing under her food dish, in a corner, or under her log hide. She seems to be eating well and her shell is looking good (When I got her it had slight pyramiding). Do you think she is dehydrated? The temperatures in her terrarium are perfect for a russian and I do not know what is wrong. She only stays in the cool side of her terrarium and I have not seen her go on her basking slab in a long time. She also does not walk around very much unless she's going to her food or log. I am getting concerned now because when I was at the fair there was another Russian tortoise and it seemed to be walking around a lot in its terrarium unlike Daisy. Should I make an appointment to the vet? Other than the burrowing she seems fine. Not that burrowing is a bad thing for tortoises to do.

I soak her every time I take her out for about 10-30 minutes each time. So, about every other day


Never mind! I called the vivarium and described the problem and its ok! She's just not active because of the heat!
