Hi everyone.
We collected our sulcata tortoise (Arthur) last Friday. Have done lots of research and believe we have his home set up correctly. The only thing is he hasn't eaten really since we have had him.
He is in a viv, with a uv and uvb bulb. We have a heat mat. He has a hide, and grass and dirt as the flooring. Temperature under the light about 30-40 degrees, the cool end 20-30.
He doesn't seem to want to come out from hiding at all. When we get him out he likes to wander about the front room. But as soon as he is back in his viv he hides in his log under the grass. Wish he would eat. Tried soaking him this morning to see if that helped but still nothing. Arthur is 2 years old but still quite tiny. About 3 inches.
Can anyone please help?
