Hi, about 6 months ago we adopted a 3 year old cherry-head red foot tortoise named Toti. Recently we built her a new enclosure, and after reading about tortoise co-habitation decided to adopt a new friend for her. 4 days ago we bought a 6 month old cherry-head red foot tortoise, also a female which we named Ponyo. The reptile expert from the store said two red-foots would be fine together and it was ok to house them together in our new enclosure. Since we have brought her home we have noticed that Ponyo is sleeping almost all the time, she is not eating very much, and when she does walk around she almost always has her eyes closed. Is this normal behavior for a baby tortoise, or is something wrong. Toti is fine and acting like normal and has not been aggressive with Ponyo, just pretty curious. We are worried about Ponyo and the reptile expert from the store is not working for another three days so we have to wait to ask him. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.
