Hello all!
My Russian tortoise has been acting weird lately. We recently moved to San Diego and because the climate is awesome here I have been keeping him in a large tortoise box out on the patio. His appetite has gone way up since we got here and he seemed to be very happy up until about the past week. Now it has gotten a little chillier at night (about a low of 55 degrees) and I am wondering if this is too cold for him and he is going into some sort of hibernation. I have noticed that now he is less active and is not eating as much or at all some days. I've tried changing up his diet and giving him some of his favorite foods but even then he's hardly interested. Also I've noticed some little ants in his enclosure, although I doubt they could hurt him. Should I start taking him inside at night? Thanks,
Jakki
