Tortoises don't like change so it could be up to 2 weeks before your Redfoot settles in and starts to eat. How do you have your enclosure set-up? Temperatures, lights, humidity, substrate etc.

Yesterday she was really lively and running around her table all day but toady she has spent a lot of time in her hide is this normal she seems to like to bury herself in the sand/soil substrate in her hide.
