Waking tortoise to eat 2x a day

[Elizabeth Tully]

Hi. Baby Russian. He has indoor and outdoor habitat. I bring him outside in a.m. and give him bath 85 degrees and some sun. He pigs out and goes back to sleep rest of day. When I rouse him in pm he's not happy and does not eat. Should I be worried that he's only eating once a day?

I wouldn't worry - especially if he " pigs out". In their natural environments torts often roam & eat till full , then sleep allot of their days away.

If he's growing and pooping it's fine. He may be grazing outside too.
