Hello,
I have had a new hatchling Russian tortoise for about 2 days now. All is going well and he is eating, sleeping, and pooping/urinating normally. But I have one question, Should I wake him up before I leave for work? I wake up around 6:30 and immediately turn his UVB and heat lamp on. And then after about 45 minutes I have to leave for work. But by that time, he’s still burrowed and asleep. So I’m basically wondering if I should wake him up in the mornings before I leave and give him food, or should I leave him asleep with food in the enclosure and let him wake up on his own?
