Hi,
Sadly, last night my baby boy Henry died but I heard tortoises can fake their death? He was diagnosed with kidney disease back in January/February and he was taking medicine to help it get better - which it did! He isn't the most lively tortoise, he sleeps a lot and when he was diagnosed with kidney disease he was too weak to open his eyes which is still a problem. I found him yesterday in his food bowl, he had eaten all of his dinner and he just wasn't moving, I picked him up and he was so cold - even though he was under his lamp. His legs are stuck out all crooked and his head his poking out, he is very stiff and isn't moving AT ALL. I am in shock and not sure what to do. Is he faking it? or have I lost my baby?
Please help.
