Hello and welcome, mine are Hermanns and have been far more active since this warmer spell we've been having. Someone will answer your question eventually, I'm quite new to it too

Hi and welcome! I think your tortoise is feeling that spring is coming!

Not sure of course.Mine was pretty active during the winter but now last few days he's even more lively.Someone here will tell you more.

hi and welcome

perhaps if you tell us how he is housed
we will be able to either reasure you
or suggest if his behaviour is as expected

Hello and welcome. I have 2 Hermanns and they are eating so much at the moment. I'm putting handfuls of food in and they are diving on it and eating it in a few minuites so I go and get them some more and they eat that just as quick. Must be having a growing spurt or something.
Horsefield are a different tortoise I know but they do have good appitites.
