So I can simply leave him there?, I'll buy some baby food for his next soak as we don't have a baby in the house


Here he is, being hand fed after the advice we got :)

It looks like you have a Russian, I could be wrong.
I give my tortoise cuttle bone for his beak. I'm not sure if that is good for all tortoises so hopefully someone can chime in on that. It seems like it might be a beak issue. It would be good to get him checked out by a vet for a wellness check to make sure he has no other medical problems and to see what this issue is.

He looks good though :) Super cute.

Okay, thanks Daisy that's assuring to hear. I'm more positive nowhes a Russian. I'll try to have my parents take him to the vet :) we went to petco earlier today and I bought his cuttlefish bone. He wasn't active today and didn't touch it. He doesn't seem very interested in any food, either. We have to hold it under his mouth, then he will eat. He's going our for exercise tomorrow though :)
