We have had our Russian Tortoise (our first!) for 2 months now. I am concerned that he is lethargic. He sleeps all the time until we get him out for a soak and then he eats afterwards. Then he goes back to his basking side and sleeps until the next day. Today, he didn’t even seem to want to open his eyes in his bath, then just fell asleep in his food which concerned me.
He has 2 lights - A basking light (82-85 degrees) and a UVB light that stays on 12 hours a day. Basking light is turned off when we go to bed and back on first thing in the morning.
He is currently eating dandelions, clover, zucchini, mixed greens.
His eyes and nose look clear. He just seems sooooo tired!
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
