Helko everyone. i work in a pet store and recused my russian tort. i was on vacation and he went to the vet due to not eating. so the vet put a feeding tube in. Ajax (little warrior) had the tube in a week and it was out. then when i got back from vacation i picked ajax up from the vet and wouldnt return him back to the storre. so i syringe fed him for two monthes before he yanked out the tube himself. he wont eat veggies like carrots green beans peas. he wont eat a spring mix of lettuce no raddachio nothing i have to open his mouth to feed him.
i am worried about him. he wouldnt come out of his shell and had no muscle tone when i got him. but now he is walking around and digging in his bedding.
i have him in a forty gallon terrerium. I have a dandy rockish terrain. i am working on growing flowers he can eat on 1/3 of the tank. i have the temp consistantly at 80-85 on humidity at 35%. i know that is a little high but the flowers need it right now.
so i am seeking any help to get my little ajax to eat. i dont want to loose him after four monthes. all advice is welcine and appreciated. thanks ray
