I work at petsmart, and on Wednesday night, a guy drops off his tortoise. He says he didn’t know tortoises needed lights and that he can’t take care of him. So I take him. Apparently this guy bought him online for his 4 year old son. They left him in a small cardboard box for I have no idea how long and they were trying to feed him crickets. Obviously he didn’t eat them. I have no idea how long it’s been since he’s eaten. He will not open his eyes. I’ve been giving him three warm baths daily and leaving him in a tank with uvb lights and a heat lamp. He still hasn’t perked up after two days of this (granted I do understand it’s going to take him a long time to recover). I’m very worried and feel awful for this little guy. He’s not even fully grown. I really just want him to open his eyes. Help me please?? Should I just bite the bullet and take him to a vet?? I’m not exactly the most experienced with tortoises.
