My baby leopard tortoise began acting strangely yesterday. He is staying in his favorite hide and not coming out on his own. I took him out last night and put him in front of his food but he just went back to sleep. I did wake up to almost no food left but he was back in his hide. I took him out and immediately soaked him where he peed and pooped, both looked normal. I put some food down, dusted it and offered a few soaked Mazuri pellets as well. He ate some greens, about half a pellet and went back to his hide. Now, I gave him spring mix for the first time 3 days ago and have been giving that to him since - yesterday and today - could that be causing this? He typically gets weeds/grasses from outside.
Temps are from 84-100F (6ftx3ft enclosure) and he is at 88F in the hide he's in. Humidity is at 85%.
Any and all advice is appreciated, I'm trying not to panic but this isn't like him and at his size, it's horrifying.
