Nope this is at petsmart and this guy looked like he could need some loving.
He probably does, poor lamb.
Thanks for rescuing him.
He obviously needs to be kept in quarantine for several months with lots of hand washing between handling the other tortoise.
And they will need separate enclosures, as i'm sure you're aware.
Are his eyes open and ok now ?

I gave him a nice warm soak, and he actually ate a a couple bites of pumpkin. He is doing at least 80% better than he was. The temp was 78% in the enclosure with no soak spot. Idk the diet they had them torts on either.

Sorry to hear your Dad was ill and hope he's now better. Please wish him a speedy recovery.

Oli is much better, but rather bored (like me). Sandstorms have kept us 'imprisoned' at home for days.
Sandstorms...ohh that sounds scary!! I'm glad to hear Oli is doing better!!! Thank you for my dad. He just got out of the hospital after nearly 4 months. One day at a time.
