Hey everyone,
So my girlfriends mom found a Texas tortoise in her alley. I wish I knew what this lil guy's story was but my best guess is that since our city is making an effort to "beautify" all the creeks and rivers here in San Antonio he was run out of his home. Makes me angry. Well, she found him in September. He was active and ate some then I put him away for the winter. I would constantly check on him to make sure he's was ok and then took him out in march. I'd take him back and forth between indoors and outdoors because of my dog, and my 20 lb leopard tortoise that is king in our front yard. Plus I know mixing them is never something you want to do. The last confirm day he ate was on April 2nd, gave him some cactus pads. Since then he's seemed very lethargic. I took him outside and he was opening his eyes until a couple of days ago. I left him out to get some sun and all he did was move out of it. I took him across the street to my mom's house so he could be out all day and literally stayed in the same spot for 24 hours. I did treat him for mites. Can anyone else please help me. I want to give it til Monday since my vet is already closed today. Any help and information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
