stars not eating

Posted by tri on June 06, 2002 at 15:54:09:

hi everyone,
i just purchased a trio of stars. they arrived on tuesday. i immediately soaked them and offered some food. one ate a little while the other two went straight to the hide box to sleep. they've been in the hide box since with no interest in feeding. i've even taken them out and placed them right infront of the food but they just went around it and went right back into the hide box. this is my first mail order experience so i'm not sure if this is normal for tortoise stressed from travel. please advise.

thanks, tri
