Hi i need your helps
My 8 cm tort is in protozoa remedy

She wake up at morning and eat some food and sleep at the corner of enclosure
Then She almost do not move

So i picked her and moved to hot zone
Then she waked up and ate some food

Why she do not move to control temperature herself???
Is it very dangerous situation???

The best way to keep baby tortoise warm is to provide the same warmth over the whole enclosure. I keep my babies in covered enclosures and there is no "hot side/ cool side", only warm all over. Yes, it is dangerous for a baby tortoise to not be warm enough, as you have seen, when they're not warm, they don't eat.
