Thankyou =) I hope yours gets better too. I don't think it's a problem if they dont burrow or go into hides since mine goes into phases where she does and doesn't for a while. I've read somewhere that it was normal too.
Where did you got your tortoises from? I think yours may just not be active because of the lighting. See how it goes for a few days with the new light. Make sure it has UVA/UVB and heat. And is your substrate top soil? With no stuff added to it? Like the white balls. If you haven't yet, look up the basis for what is needed for the torts. I always look to make sure I'm doing it right haha. I'm still a newb at this though so yea

My tortoise is doing a lot better. I'm just waiting to see more results with the tissues in her eyes. Please do let me know if you learn anything from the repticon. All information to make her better would be a great help! Thankyou =D

If they feel safe in their enclosure, they are more likely to select their sleeping place based on temperature and humidity and just use a corner or a plant for their sense of security.

its nice to know its not bad my torts don't go in hides or dig. I may not get a light cuz im going to keep them outside full time. But if i do it will be saturday at repticon. Yes my substrate is top soil i think it doesnt have any fertilizers in it so...
