hello again ,
I was just wondering how long it usully takes for a tort to adjust to a new home? I dont want to rush them or scare them but they were not in the best shape when I got them yesterday so I pulled them out of their hide this a.m to make sure they were ok I wanted to check their eyes noses etc,,but I think I may have stressed them too much because now they are not eating. I have not seen either eat as of yet but the store owners swear they are pigs, is it normal for a tort to not eat when first arriving ? I have only had a hatchling sulcata prior to these and she was eating out of my hand the first day home. My Home's hingeback(Elephant) took about 2 days before he started to eat so I am assuming the same about the russians (Calvin and Hobbes)I am picking up my hatchling today I am so excited!! I have a vet appt for all of them next week- ew 4 torts imagine that bill! yikes!!hopefully they will all get a clean bill of health
