Hello I am a new tortoise owner I have acquired a 3 year old horse field off a friend who said he didn't have time t look after it. I have tried to read up on them as much as possible but it's all so confusing. So any help would be greatly approciated . I don't know much back ground information on him but he keeps going into his bedroom and doesn't want to come out I have checked that the tortoise table is warm it's currently at 85 degrees fare hits directly under the lamp. He's also not eating I have tried a veriaty of foods for him salads etc. I think he may want to hibernate, the lady in the local pet shop said that he wouldn't want to hibernate as he has the correct heat and they only do this when it gets cold. But as I have no experiance with tortoises I am unsure. I gave him a soak in warm water this afternoon and cleaned his table, he stayed out for a little while then went straight back into his bedroom .
thanks for reading again any help would be brilliant Tom
