We are taking him back to the vet today no signs of improvement he barely moves when you pick him up if his eyes weren’t open you wouldn’t be able to tell if he was alive [emoji22][emoji22] I’m so upset I don’t know what to do I hope they can help him by tube feeding him , he’s weak from not eating

Thanks. Was your tortoise eating at the time?

To add some info he is a Russian tortoise and now about 1 year and 4 months. He is still very small

Hi, I was wanting some advice please on my tortoise. How long does it take for antibiotics to kick in and how would you know they are working? Took him to a vet because he was lethargic, not eating or getting up etc. he scratched himself whilst eating a while ago and it got better but very...

Will he be ok? That’s my main question, from anyone who’s seen tortoise injury before I’d like to know if he’ll be ok and if he’s in pain

I live in the Uk, do you know the name of any antibiotic ointment? Ok thank you, I’ll try anything! Hopefully it heals quickly

What can I put on it that won’t cause him harm? I heard dabbing on some bicarbonate soda powder is good is this true?

This is what it looks like, it’s not a good picture I’ve had to brighten it because it was dark but didn’t want to move him around and disturb him, as you can see there’s a patch where it looks like there’s blood

I’ve noticed that my tortoise has a cut on his face next to his mouth, it’s only just appeared after I gave him food and he’s always using his claws to tear away food so I think he’s caught himself and scratched himself. He’s bleeding a bit on his front paw from where the blood rubbed off from...

Thank you!

Ok thank you, I wanted to buy seeds online but firstly they don’t grow as we don’t have much light and secondly I didn’t know which ones to get, but I will buy some and start to grow them at home. Thank you for your help. Do you know how I can help him in the mean while? What other foods can I...

I live in the uk and I don’t have a back yard, I don’t know anyone else with one either, could I maybe go to a park and get some? Would they be sad from there? And yes we have a higher wattage lamp but the temp gets too hot, maybe we could try to lower it

How can I get the basking temperature hotter? Our hot lamp gets way too hot. Where can I get the weeds from? I will look into the bedding, thanks for your help!

Hello everyone Some background info- I have a Russian tortoise who’s 1 years old, we got him 3 months ago. He has a vivarium which is 3ft (we are planning to upgrade but he’s still tiny for now so has space) he has pure coir bedding and about 3 hides which he likes to climb on and sleep in...

I don’t think you’re being extreme. I love animals and I would be the same, I haven’t read the rest of the post but I hope the mouse is ok
