Horsfield tortoise care
Posted: 03 Feb 2019, 16:45
I got a baby Horsfield tortoise 4 weeks ago, and would appreciate any wisdom/tips, particularly regarding diet. My concerns are:
What are the best foods to give that are also easily obtained in January?
I've been varying the types of food as much as possible but over the last couple of days he has barely eaten, even the food types he's previously enjoyed. What could be the reason for this?
I don't know what is typical behaviour for a baby Horsfield - how much time should be spent sleeping, basking etc? How active is normal? He explored his environment a lot in the first few days but now moves between the same areas.
Any other tips?
Thanks
