We hear this story three or four times a day here on the Forum...I bought (adopted, was given) my tortoise and he ate real well the first day, wandered around the habitat, explored, and now he just stays hidden all the time.
So what makes a new tortoise stay hidden after eating and acting normally the first day? If he's just getting used to the new environment, why does he eat the first day?
Let's throw some ideas out there and see if we can figure this one out.
