Hi, I am a new mum (since Friday evening) and have a few concerns. I picked up my 8 week old Med Spur Thighed tort (Rocket) Friday evening, I left the lights on for 1/2 hour so he got a feel for his new home, he then took himself to bed. The lights were turned on at 6am and I was expecting him to emerge pretty much straight away, he didn't until about 10am and then just walked around once and went back into his hut. I brought him out a few times and then thought I should just let him get on with it. He came out again for 1/2 hour at the end of the day. He is in a vivarium with adequate uvb and a basking temp of around 31 Celsius. The cool end is around 20 Celsius. He wouldn't eat anything. I also bathed him for 15 minutes in warm water in the morning. This morning the lights came on at 6:30am and it is now 8am and still no sign. I have increased the bulb wattage thinking perhaps it wasn't hot enough for him. I would be grateful for any advice and tips.
Many thanks
Dawn
