Hi!
I hope you're all well!
I recently added new plastic plants in my 11 month old Leopard tortoise's indoor enclosure to create new shady hiding spots. But I noticed that Lightning hasn't moved from the doorway of the hide for the two hours. Lightning is usually a busy little climber but I'm worried I've perhaps overwhelmed/terrified the poor fella a little with 3 new plants. Is this a thing or am I worrying unnecessarily?
When Lightning first moved into this enclosure, the little one explored every inch of the place, walking around and touching the walls.
I've checked the humidity, I've checked the temperature which are both fine. I've tried to feed baby spinach leaves with fresh grass as that is a favourite but no luck not even a bite! Did a normal healthy poop yesterday. Had a long soak this morning but had to encourage this (usually just steps into the water dish independently). Breathing sounds normal too.
Any advice/reassurance on this would be much appreciated! I'm new to this and slightlyyyyy freaking out as he usually eats and moves around.
Kind regards,
Kabs
