He ate a bit Saturday but hasn’t since and has laid in his viv for the last 48hrs. When we put him out in the garden rather than bask in the sun he just goes and hides.
Gave him a bath tonight and it just made him really aggressive, started charging at us and shell butting, so we’ve come out of the room and left him to calm down.

Outside is far better for your tortoise than the viv:0)
Of course he will hide when put outside, its strange to him, and tortoises dont like change. My tortoises are outside 24/7 with no extra heat, and have been since May. They do take a while to adjust to a new environment, so give him time to adjust, he will thank you for it in the end:0)
Tortoises dont have human feelings, but he could well be aware of the changes in your house now:0)
