Hey!
I got my russian tortoise last Sunday. It's been a little over a week and he has not eaten anything. He is very active. He wakes up at about 9 every morning and starts his day. He digs ALOT, and roams his home all day until about 8-9 at night. I haven't seen any worms in his poop or any signs of infection. I got him from petco and have seen him eat prior to buying him. I will be taking him to the vet tomorrow morning to get him checked out. I have reptisun 10.0 uvb light on him, basking temp 98-104 degrees depending on the temp of my house, cool side 75-80 degrees. I'm offering him kale, arugula, spinach, spring mix. I even got desperate and put watermelon in his food dish one day. Why isn't be eating? He also digs himself completely under ground, to the point where I couldn't find him one day lol! Is this normal for him to dig ALOT?
