My baby Russian tort has always been a very strong eater (he's usually up and in his dish before I get a chance to wake up and feed him). Suddenly, over the past couple of days, he has slowed and even stopped eating, and begun hiding more. I boosted his temperatures because they were a little low (the basking spot was only reaching around 80-85 degrees F), and the weather has been a little bit funky since it's spring one day and winter the next here in Rochester NY, so right now I'm assuming that I've accidently put him in a hibernation cycle. So I already boosted his temperatures, and I'm thinking I'll give him a nice warm soak (to try to rule out constipation). Anything else I might want to try?
