Thanks for getting back to me, he usually buries himself at night but never that much which got me worried he doesn’t do it during the day, it’s a baby tortoise and a Russian, his temp during the day is 30-32 night temp is around 20 i’m not sure what uv or heating im using, I don’t have a checker to check my humidity should I buy one? Yes I use coco coir. I’ll show you my set up and pictures of my lights sorry about the photos of his enclosure the doors where reflecting me also that is a hamster wheel he does quite a lot of exercise on itHello and welcome!
Don’t worry this is perfectly normal tortoise behaviour, though if it’s something he’s doing constantly during the day, something may be off with the set up. If he’s only done it once and it’s near lights out, I wouldn’t worry.
I don’t suppose you’d mind sharing some more information?
What kind of tortoise is it you have? I’m thinking Herman or Russian judging by the small bit of shell I see?
Is it a baby or adult?
What are your temperatures like? Ie basking spot(directly under the bulb) overall day temps, night temps?
What kind of lighting and heating are you using specifically? Packaging photos are good if you have any!
Do you use indoor uv? If so what kind?
How’s your humidity reading? Is that coco coir you’re using for substrate?
A photo of the full set up would be great! Along with one of your tortoise if you have one
No problem!
