    Tortoise seems unwell

    Thanks for sharing that. We certainly won’t give up on him. On Thursday I didn’t think he’d make it til the morning. Here we are at Sunday and hes’s still fighting. He’s still making some odd sounds but his eyes and colour look a lot better, and he’s eating which he hadn’t done for a few days...

    Tortoise seems unwell

    He’s had all his treatment today and has actually eaten some food. He’s also been a lot more mobile than he has been. He still looks quite poorly and makes the occasional sound. We are doing all we can and hope he pulls through. We’re realistic though and know he has a long way to go. Thanks...

    Tortoise seems unwell

    Thanks for asking, but not very good I’m afraid. We saw Sophie. Inside his mouth was very pale. She said he has a bad RI so kept him in for the day. He was on oxygen and had X-rays and blood tests. There is air in his gut (I believe) so has treatment for that too. Bought a new additional UV...

    Thanks Lyn. Iv’e just read the links that JoesMum shared. We’re going to take everyone’s advice and change his entire area (substrate, bedding etc). What would you recommend for the bedroom area, and which substrate do you use/where do you purchase it? I ordered a humidity gage earlier this...

    Tortoise seems unwell

    Hi, thanks for helping. I’ve never done this before so hope that the below links work OK. The temp in his habitat is usually about 75F / 26C. The temp under the lamps appears to be 90F / 32 C. I don’t know the temp in his bedroom but he sleeps next to an electric heat pad/wall. His set up was...

    Tortoise seems unwell

    My three year old Stan has been making strange sounds tonight. Every few minutes mutes a sound similar to a sauce bottle being squeezed seems to be coming from him. He appears to be in some discomfort as he occasionally stretches his neck and opens his mouth when the sound occurs. I have noticed...
