New owner
Posted: 25/08/2014 by Ginger

Hi I am a new owner of a 10 yr old spurred thigh tortoise He is a very strong healthy and fast little fellow but has not eaten since I have brought him home 5 days ago Every day except today ( non stop rain) he has investigated every inch of the garden but seems more interested in escaping than any weeds or food I have tried him with eg rocket grated carrot peppers sweet corn watercress and mustard cress. He hasn't drunk yet from his dish but I think I see him swallow when he puts his head in his bath. I am concerned even when I have read it could take time for him to adjust  Any advice would be gratefully receivedreceived

Hello,


It seems he drank in the 'bath.'

What is growing in your garden which your tort. might eat ?

Regards,
Tom
