Hi,

I recently bought two 10-month-old horsefield tortoises. When we went to buy them they were both really active and healthy and both eating and drinking. However, when we bought them home they became less active and wanting to sleep all day. We have had them 3 days now and they have not eaten anything. They have a substrate mixture of hay, top soil and play sand which they enjoy burrowing in. They also have a UV lamp and heat lamp. We have tried feeding them kale, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, dandelions and weeds, all of which they have turned their noses up at. I would really appreciate any advice as I am a first time owner and although I have done lots of research, many things on the web contradict each over. Thank you

Hello Georgette,

In the absence of a reply - feed only weeds & flowers.
