Please can anyone help. I bought my horsefield tortoise who is roughly 4 years old has not eaten since being with me.
He is in a tray not glass enclosure.
Heat lamp goes up to 80 f
Cooler spots room temp about 70f
His bedroom is filled with hay and on a heat mat which he seems to love.
Bathed him twice and had a drink in it but not eating or drinking in enclosure?
I have offered carrots, spinach, rosemary, weeds, Dandelion leaves, pet shop food which I have read is bad so not wanting to continue with that, grass, peppers, kale, clover and other things I've found in the garden.
He is active and was moving around loads yesterday. Not sure about today because I have been in work and he is in his bed already. He did pop his head out to say hello.
Is it dangerous that he has not eaten for 4 days?
Please help me to get him to eat. I would never forgive myself if he becomes poorly because of it.
Thanks in advance
