Thank you kindly for the help.

Murt has secluded himself for several days now.

The question now is how to bump him out of the pseudo hibernation that he appears to be in.

Should I nab/wake him and isolate him in a smaller container with a bit of water and the assortment of greens I've obtained for him?

Or should I find a local reptile vet and do things the safe way?

He does seem healthy as much as I can tell. But no food intake for about a week disturbs me.

I've checked out russiantortoise.net and am gaining some appreciation for his nature but am not sure of where I'm starting from.

Thanks again.
