Does he look dehydrated?

[GraceAndTorty]

So I don’t know if I’m just paranoid, but does my Russian look dehydrated to anyone? He has been slower than usual. A couple days ago we just got done with moving. We had to drive 14 hours and he was in a bin. I’m not sure if that has to do with anything but, like I said, he has been slower than usual and yesterday he basically just slept all day ( it’s just dust from his substrate on his shell by the way)

Being in a bin traveling for 14 hours could cause a bit of dehydration. If you are concerned about it, then I would say to soak the tortoise in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes each day for 2-3 days. to help it regain any lost moisture.
