My horsfield tortoise is about 15 months old and still pretty tiny, but he has really started slowing down over the past few weeks and I'm worried he's trying to go into hibernation, which he is too small for. He isn't eating as much as normal and he is sleeping a LOT. Sometimes he won't even get up if he sleeps far away from his lamp, or he'll get up for a couple of hours then tuck himself away again. He seems fine physically, and I give him regular soaks. Is this just the change of seasons? But he does live indoors in a heated tortoise table so on the other hand how can he know, unless it's like a body clock thing? All thoughts v welcome.
