thanks for everyone’s help during the time we had Bobby.
I have no idea what happened.
He had a uvb light, a heater emmiter, bought gauges for humidity and heat, monitored them, bought him all kinds of different foods that I got advice from here and scouring the internet.
Soaked him everyday put him outside (we don’t use pesticides) I just had ordered him mazuri to try anything to stimulate his appetite.
I really don’t think he ever ate that well when he arrived. The first week he would nibble and eat, maybe the first 5 days I would say, he ate the way he should have but after that he didn’t show much interest in food. Just nibbles. I looked at videos of tortoise eating and he never ate like that from the beginning. I spent everyday at least 45 minutes with him, to care for him..
I would not recommend anyone getting a hatchling when they have very little experience. If someone wants a tortoise they would be better off spending extra money for an established baby at least.
I’m really very sad about it, he lived 29 days.
He was 2 months old when I got him.

I am so very sorry for your loss. You have done your very best. Sending you electronic hugs[emoji173]️
