I adopted a 6/7" Chinese box turtle (Cuora flavomarginata), which we believe is a he.

This is his new home:

glass tank : 30" (l) x 12" (w) x 16" (h)
Heating: a heating pad (rated for 10/20 gallons) on 24 hrs placed under the tank.
Lighting: one 50w repti basking spot lamp, on 12 hours/day.
Water: a 12" x 6" water container with 2" of water, change daily.
Temp: 72 deg.
substrate: wood chips about 3" deep


Problem:
He doesn't move much at all, like to hide by going under the wood chips.

We are feeding him with TRex pallets (serve moist), fresh fruit (mainly banana) and yesterday we tried TRex can food.

He hasn't eaten much if at all for 2 weeks now, and moving less and less.

We are very worried.
