I just got a new leopard tortoise (Tonka) on Monday evening.He was listed as a yearling. I brought him home and placed in enclosure (tortoise table 4x2 with coconut coir bedding, patch of grass and a few hides. I am using the combo uv/heat lamp and a heat pad) I weighed him the next day (Tuesday) and he was 101 g. On Tuesday he did not eat but moved around and was basking (temp approx 98-100) and moving in an out to regulate temperature. I put him in his hide box at night temp approx 80. Weighed him on Wednesday and the weight was 100g but did eat majority of the food offered(no vitamins or supplements on top) cut up kale, collared greens and bok choy with vitamins and calcium on top. Weighed again this morning and he is 99g. So he has dropped 1 gram each day. I soaked him today and he drank some, but has not eaten today. Also I noticed a faint clicking sound when breathing. He is doing the head and arm bobbing which I understand is normal. I am a little concerned about the clicking and lack of eating. Not sure if it is adjusting to new environment etc. When he moves about he stands up tall and moves about quickly. Just not sure if the clicking is normal or if I just need to give time to adjust.
Thanks for any help
