Hello everyone! We got 2 baby tortoises about 1 month ago. The person said they were born around February this year. The slightly smaller one has not opened its eyes from day 1. It moves all over its enclosure, eats, drinks & we give them warm bath once a week. The ONLY times this tortoise has ever opened its eyes is when we’ve used a wet q-tip & wiped its eyes gently for a minute. It has not reacted to my fingers in front of its face when it’s eyes are open. It’s eyes are not swollen. The shell is not soft. It’s slow moving which I assume is normal for a tortoise. These are the first tortoises we’ve ever had. I’m hopeful this tortoise was just born blind & not sick since it gets around fine & has survived the last month just fine. Would love any help, advice, or similar problems if anyone has anything. Thanks!
