Hi i recently bought a young Russian tortoise about 2 months ago. Getting quite worried as he buries himself in his substrate and dosent wake up till at least dinner time. He then only stays out for a few hours then back to bed. He is eating well. Should I be waking him or leave him too it.
I use pro med tortoise substrate in his table and use aspen bedding, the basking temp is usually between 31-33 degrees and at the other end it's about 24 degrees, he is fed mainly dandelion including leaves and I grow my own weeds too. He has kale and other leaves with the odd flower every now and then.
Just wonder what I can do to make him more active or shouldn't I be worrying. Many thanks
