    I have a 10 month tortoise, i'm afraid he's sick...

    My sulcata Peanut is acting very strange lately, he's not eating much and sleeps all the time, probably 80% of the day. I took Franklin, the bigger one in the picture, to the vet's because when he was Peanuts age he was going through the same exact thing. The vet said it was because he didn't...
