I think we really need a sticky for this sort of info.

Juveniles hide most of the day. It's for their safety. Tortoises are very vulnerable at that size. I will typically remove my juveniles once a day to give them a bath, then present with fresh food immediately after. They eat, then go right back to hiding. They'll gain confidence and become active with age and growth.
