Hi everyone its been a long time since i last posted Boris is now 5 years old! wahey but with age comes worry.
Borris has always been a mover and eater with some quite spells
But this year for about 3 month he has kept in a corner and eatten nothing even now in this warmer temp his shell is cold and he still remains in the corner dug down in the mud.
I get so worried i dont know what to do, is he hibernating? do i move him? he is alive as i see his head moving in and out when breathing.
I feel sorry for the poor lad. i want to let him out and run the rooms but i have a 1 year old son who would love to use him as a toy car. I have many times contemplated leaving him outside in a shabby made enclosure. but how long before a bird or cat decide he looks like a toy also.
and if not that what if he digs out?
Please help im worried about him so much that ive considered putting him up for adoption to someone who has a much wider understanding.
