Hi everyone,
My Russian tortoise is two years old and is growing bigger every day. He has the most gorgeous wee character, but he’s also very fussy and hates change. One problem I have is have hideaway cave: he LOVES it but he’s too wide to really get through it anymore. I have found him, and the cave, across his vivarium because he took it with him on his journey to the heat lamp. So I kept ordering caves but they were all too small and not his favourite cave. I recently ordered one specifically designed for a tortoise and it’s huge (but I’m not too worried because he’s getting a new, much bigger, vivarium next month). The only thing is that he refuses to sleep in it. He’d rather dig a hole in the ground and sleep in the dark for the night than snuggle up in his big cave. What do I do? Just want him to be happy!
Here’s a pic of him him dragging his old cave, and how he likes to snuggle.
