Hello all, for some reason my baby horsfield has very suddenly lost his mojo, just like his clockwork has stopped? He was fine 5 days ago then seems to have given up? It has got cold & wet here in England this week as we head towards winter & the central heating is now on!!? I keep him indoors in a tortoise enclosure with a mercury vapour lamp. He has stopped eating, soaking himself,wandering etc & I have not seen any poo or any urine. He just wants to sleep under his den & not come out. Health wise he seems ok, no sign of respiratory problems or stress? Has his hibernation body clock started? Even tho he is too young/ small for this? I'm worried about the lack of food tho? Should I soak him everyday to keep him hydrated?? I am a 4 month newbie for tortoises so I apologise if this question has been raised before? Thanks
