So Donnatello has been resting and sleeping a lot the past few days which is making me worried. He is usually very active and happy recently he has been just sitting in the corner and sleeping/sulking?. Two things to keep in mind we just "moved" temporarily to my parents house because of an internship I have this summer at a local emergency vet clinic. He seemed fine at first with the whole transition acting normal ect I put him on one of the warmer parts of the house that gets morning sun which he likes to bask in temperatures are normally range from a high of 90ish in his hot/basking area and lower 80's in his cooler side. I also recently changed his substrate his other was very dirty and smelly and really needed changed. I switched to a suggested cypress bark but kept and thoroughly rinsed some of his repti-bark that he had before. He seemed fine with the change at first and was thoroughly interested in his new surroundings. He has now made himself a little "hole" that he dug out in the side and spends most of his time there eating little food except what he needs or unless I hand feed him or unless there is fruit available. He is still drinking and seems in relatively good health except for not wanting to do anything. Am I jut being nervous and he is trying to get used to new substrate?? Or should I actually be worried?
I am still new to this whole tortoise raising thing I only got him in February and he is about 4.5 inches long.
thanks for any help that can be given I really don't know what i would do without this forum!
