My tortoise(tony) doesn’t wake up on his own.. and isn’t eating. I have to wake him up and then I bathe him for 20 minutes but he goes straight back to sleep and isn’t eating any food. His basking temp is 36c, so I think he is warm enough… He’s almost 3, I have uploaded photos His eyes are...

I live in the uk also, and don’t have much garden space to build a large enclosure… I have just bought this one for my Russian, they have the lid over so your baby will be safe if your not outside watching. But my tortoise is only 3 so he’s small.

My tortoise sleeps a lot and today he hasn’t woken up or eaten anything… is it safe for me to wake him and bathe him and give him food? Or should I let him wake up on his own? Sometimes he can go 2 days without waking up or food or a drink.

Poor baby,I’m so sorry… keep us updated if you take him to the vet to find out how he has passed

Oh great thanks I will give it a try, my garden isn’t great for tony since it’s all stones and is quite sharp but we have a little grass which he goes on. But I can’t stand there watching him for an hour or 2 because I had a toddler lol, so I just bought an outside enclosure (122cm long) with a...

Oh really I will check that out, Did zola ever have swollen eyes and did the gel work for that ? Do you have an outside enclosure for yours? I live in the uk aswell and I’m unsure on weather to let tony out every day in the summer or only when it’s really hot out…

Great I shall buy that one, I checked for the solar meter 6.5 but on Amazon there over £200 so I can’t afford it right now but I will definitely keep it in mind for the near future. Oh okay when I was doing research some people said swollen eyes can be a vitamin a deficiency or respiratory...

Yeah I definitely won’t be listening to any more YouTube recommendations again.. I know you said about using a cheap washing bowl and cutting a hole for a hide because it keeps it humid so I will do this in his new home and what plants are safe to put into his enclosure? Thank you Tom

Thank you for all this information, I have purchased the Arcadia flood light you recommended, and for the UV bulb I have attached a photo to make sure it’s the correct one before I buy. Also what food do you recommend for a vitamin A deficiency? Or should I buy a supplement? Also I know you said...

Thank you for sharing this information, it helps a lot! I’m struggling to find a The basking bulb… I live in the uk maybe that’s why. Do you have any other recommendations for the basking light? Is it safe for me to use the vapour all in one mercury light for a few months until I find a better...

Yeah I am currently looking for a terra cotta one from Amazon for his new house. The one he’s using now is plastic so I definitely need a different one, thank you

I bought it after seeing everybody say glass tanks are bad, and tony always bangs his head against the glass trying to get out… also his glass tank is only 60cm it’s way to small and it’s hard to find glass tanks that are a good size for a decent price. Thank you, everyone has helped a lot. It’s...

I have attached a image of the bulb, I have also attached an image of his new house.. until I’m able to buy one that’s bigger. Also you said about the humidity… this may sound silly but how do you know the Humidity? I have just bought a spray mist for his topsoil. I have added an image of his...
