I received my new greek tortoise on Thursday. She keeps hiding and sleeping. I understand this is normal behavior for babies, but she is 5-6 years old and captive-bred. I have set up her habitat exactly according to specifications, but she just stays most of the time in her hide box; occasionally venturing out to eat or bask (but not too often). Is there an adjustment period for adult torts as well. I suppose there probably is and I am just being paranoid. She is my first pet (I am 30 years old). I am just wondering how long I should let her hide before trying to get her to be more social?
Thanks,
