hi there i was wondering i have a new sulcata just purchased yesterday the guy i got him from says he's 1 1/2 yrs old and has been fed mazuri tort diet.this tort is about 9in is that possible to be 9in at a yr and a half old? also since i got him he stays in his hide and won't come out at all he has not eaten anything yet.if i put him under his basking light he just goes back in his hide.his temps are 93 basking side 76 cool side.i have not yet seen his stool but he seems to make a slight sound sometimes when he breathes.i was thinking maybe a ri but there is no bubbles around the nose and eyes are clear.he looks very healthy a slight pyramiding in his shell because of all the mazuri but i will fix that.i was wondering could the lack of appetite just be from the shipping and being in a new place is it normal for them to hide all day and not eat?or how long should i give him to go without food before it might be a worse problem/
