Hi All
I'm a newbie when it comes to owning a tortoise and even though i read numerous articles/sites before I became a lucky owner, I still have a million and one qestions...although my main one concerns me the most.
My Herman (George) is 3 years old male and moved in with me on Sunday. I went weed picking and found loads of Dandelions and clover and purchased dark and green lettuce at my supermarket + Tomato & Cucumber....but he eats hardly anything...he has nibbled about 3 lettuce leaves in his 3 days of being here...
He is active and is quite a fast mover, but im worried he wil run out of energy soon..
Do you think its just nerves and he will build up an appetite soon?
I weighed him when he arrived and he was 370g, but today he was 366g - so im worried he's lost some weight as well.
He had a shallow bath yesterday and did his first poo (which looked liked a line of wed mud) so I know he's not constipated.
Regards
Dylan & George
