I have a russian tortoise that I got about a month ago. I am concerned because she doesn't eat or poop very much... she eats very little and i've only seen her poop maybe 2 times. Could it just be that she is not adjusted to her new home yet? Her box is fairly large and has a lot of reptile bark for burrowing and a heat lamp and water for soaking, and i feed her yams, lettuce, snow peas, etc, and occasionally also feed her fruit. I spray her twice a day and soak her in warm water about once a week to avoid dehydration. I take her outside every couple of days (I live in the seattle area - not very nice weather in the fall...) where she seems to enjoy running around and occasionally eating grass and such.

Any thoughts on her habits and how to make her happier would be welcome!
