Alright. I have asked these questions before but i havent been around for a while and totally forgot your advice. I really need your best personal experience advice. I have a Greek tortoise. 5in in length. I need new bedding. I am using alfalfa pellets for now. That stuff stinks and EVERYONE is telling me to dump it. The enclosure is 4 foot length 2 feet width. Ramp to the second floor for just chilling out. I use Sunbulb uva/uvb from 7am to 7pm. There is an enclosure i built for him with a small heat pad. I feed him mazuri soaked in water to soften it. Mixed salad which consists of lettuce, spinach, fruits vary. usually i mix the mazuri with the salad. Now for the real issue. Honestly. He sits at the corners and just crawls into the corners for HOURS!!! He will not even go NEAR the water dish i had for him. I can even say i ever saw him even drink water or bathe in it. I need some help here. I am starting to feel very bad and thinking of selling him cause i may be doing something wrong. I cant bring him outside cause i live in NYC. I was thinking of building an outside basic enclosure but NYC weather is so freakish i dont want it to downpour. What should i do. I really love my animals. But this is my first Tort. I own Brazilian rainbow boas and ball pythons. Easy to take care of. Any suggestions are welcomed. And advice is appreciated. Ill put in some pics of the enclosure.
