Hello just want some advice on how to treat little Apollos eye lid. ( no coil bulb used ) I'll post a pic in a min
So soaks heat and time?
My tortoise hatchling was having this issue too, I got him from Arizona tortoise compound though. If you go to Arizonatortiosecompound.com and click on the medical tab he sells eye ointment for about 14 dollars I think. If you just put a thin layer on the eye for about a week it should clear up! Hope that helps!!
☺️That is what I would do.
Even if you have a rare pet store that takes good care of their tortoises, it is very likely that the breeder they buy from gives the babies the typical dry start. Those first few days and weeks are critical. Tonight I soaked my latest hatchlings and there is one the literally just hatched last night. He stuck his head under the water and drank for 3-4 minutes during his second soak the day after he hatched. Can you imagine the damage done by making that baby live in a dry environment with no water for a week?
Who you buy your baby from has a lot to do with what happens later.
