I know its the time for these torts to hibernate and I was taking this okay for a while, but now i'm questioning if this is normal and what I should do..
Mac is sleeping, A LOT and not really eating very much. He's starting to worry me.
I soak him EVERY SINGLE DAY! I didnt always, but once he started this nonsense Ive had no choice. A couple weeks ago it got a little chilly, coldest I think was in the upper 60's. Since then he's turned like this. I wake him up, soak him, put him on his pile of food. Sometimes he eats and sometimes he just walks over it and back to sleep. Yesterday I was soaking him and when I went to check on him he fell asleep in his soak! His head was rested against the plastic and he was out cold! WTF?! I'll take him out of his home to let him roam and try to wake him up but he'll just walk a little bit and look for a place to sleep! I do know that he moves around as when I get home from work he's just about always in a different spot.. but why wont he eat? He's gone on 3 days now (today would be 4, but I really think he'll eat today) with him not eating! Its not cold anymore!!! Daytime its 80's, sometimes 90's and night time its in the 70s!
Is this normal? Should I be worried, or is this "hibernate mode"?
