Hey there, I have two young tortoises (around 18 months) one is a Hermann and one is a Marginated. I've never experienced any issues with their health until recently. I thought it might just be the cold winter making the marginated sluggish but now I am really really worried. There are very limited specialist vets that I can find in my area so I'm asking for advice here first. I think she must be calcium deficient as her tummy feels soft and she is barely moving, she is also barely eating. She also keeps her eyes closed a lot. I just don't know what to do as she has a UV strip lamp, a heat lamp, calcium supplement powder for her food, clean water, regular bathing and the Hermann is thriving and growing strong. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it x have attached pictures of her incase there is something obvious wrong
