Hi, iv'e had a russian for a couple of months now and the only time he ever moves is to come out and eat every other day. otherwise he burries himself and thats it.
I believe i have his enviroment correct. I had a 4x2ft enclosure built. I have 50/50 coconut/playsand substrate. Power Sun bulb, temp at 85 at one end and 75 at the other.Water is available, etc... He eats well and im using the russian tort vitamins from carolina pet supply.I have taken him to the vet who gave him a clean bill of health.
Is this normal behavior? I have had 2 other torts for many years and they are out and about all the time!
I feel like he must be very unhappy for some reason???
