I have a 5 year old Russian tortoise, who only likes to come out of her hiding rock when she eats. she only eats a small amount of food, then crawls back to her rock. should I be concerned, and what can I do to help her?
I’ve had her for about 4 years now but she didn’t really do this last fall, it started in the winter when she kinda slowed down. He basking light is 91 and her night light is at 70. She will eat a small amount one day. And like nothing the next.How long have you had her?
She senses the days shortening, so she might be slowing down for brumation.
If you did not have her last winter, do you know if she brumated?
I'm thinking you are referring to an indoor enclosure. What are the temps? If she's too cold she won't eat.
That 's almost full grown. They don't get much bigger than that.She is also only about 4-5 inches wide
