We got a russian tortoise almost 1 days ago. He is housed in a 40 gallon tank with pictures stuck on all sides. We were told that he is about a year old but we think he is more like 4-5 years old.
He sleeps all day sometimes. Tries to burrow in one corner of the tank repeatedly and does not stop even when he hits glass at the bottom. He doesn't always eat ( like today he slept all day and when he got up in the night, we offered him some food, but he didn't eat it.
Whenever possible we take him out to walk around the yard for about 30 mins. He poops when we soak him in the water.
I just want to make sure that we are not doing anything wrong and want to make sure that sometimes sleeping all day is normal.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
