I recently bought a 5 month old horsefield tortoise 6 days ago along with a tortoise table.
When we got it home and set up everything was alright but it had 1 eye shut. It managed to eat the day after and go the toilet after a bath but since has not eaten and has both its eyes shut. We have been bathing it daily and preparing food but all it seems to do is sleep all day.
It's opened 1 of its eyes a couple times but not for long. We originally just had a heat bulb however our d3 UV combined bulb (80 watt) came today and we have set that up
The temperatures have been around 30 c constantly on the hot end and he has a hiding spot which it uses sometimes and we keep the light on all the time as we were instructed to do so.
Hopefully someone can help with some advice, thanks.
