Hey guys, i have recently got myself a tortoise and read up so much on them about everything haha

He is on a tortoise table and is about 7/8 months old and he isn't really eating as much right now! i do know that when its cold they don't really eat that much in winter anyways and according to my thermometer, all the temp in his enclosure is literally perfect! He also sleeps which tortoises do hahah

I give him a bath for about 10 mins everyday also.

Just struggling and starting to get worried! Any help would be so appreciated

I have noticed my sulcata would not eat or drink when I changed the dishes so maybe he's not use to your dishes and he prefers the ones from his previous owner? I hope this helps I'm a little new myself but I have been researching for the past 5 years.
