Eating and behaviour

[maxellis01]

My marginated recently hasnt eaten much at all, its been around 4 and a bit days since ive seen him eat and since visible signs of him eating. And for a whole hes been seemingly struggling with breathing, he doesnt move much but when he does he charges around seemingly in discomfort, any help would be appreciated as its becoming a major concern now.

Hello!
Did you make any changes to his enclosure recently (like substrate change)?

Are the pink areas on his plastron are still the same or have grown in size or became darker?

Have you seen him pooping and passing urates while soaking?

Can you keep him warm at night (80-82F)?

How have your temperatures been like? Some sort of respitory infection is possible.

Show us some pics of the tortoise and enclosure. Explain the heating and lighting equipment and what your temperatures are. Reptiles are dependent on their environment. Problems are usually due to something being off with temps or lighting.

Agree with Tom. Some more info and pics would help. Setup, temps, substrate, food offered?
