So this has been an ongoing problem. Fajita My 4-8 year old female russian tortoise refuses to eat anything except for a few nibble of Mazuri tortoise diet. I have tried all the favorite weeds from plantain to dandelions to collard greens. All those food items were fresh. She has a clean bill of health from the vet no worms or anything like that. The hot end of her enclosure is 82 degrees with the basking area at 100. The cool side of the enclosure never gets above 75 with her hide being at 70- 72. She is beyond restless she scratches and scratches at the side of her enclosure and it is driving me insane. She has been pacing around the edges looking for a way to escape. She only weighs 440 grams so i do not believe she is prego looking for a place to drop eggs. These symptoms have been going on for the past 3 weeks and im starting to believe i should have gotten a baby instead of a semi adult more than likely taken from the wild tortoise. If she was in fact taken from the wild i do not believe i would be able to meet the needs she has. Its just really beginning to take a toll on my sanity. If there is anything you can do to help me i would greatly appreciate it.
