Hello everyone & thank you for the add to this group. My name is Dan & I live in southern Ontario, Canada. My wife & I inherited this 5yr old tortoise, Patrick, from our daughter (won't go into details) & we have some concerns. Patrick has not eaten for several days & when he does eat, it is very little - dark leafy greens, mushrooms, strawberries + ZooMed natural Forst Tortoise Food pellets that soaked in water to soften them. Also, he is not opening his eyes - not sure if he won't or can't. If I soak his eyes in warm water, he will open one eye. He is very lethargic (will usually find a place under something & would stay there for days if we let him. We are very concerned about him & really want to see him healthy. We are near a veterinary university that takes unique patients at a reduced cost to train students & we would like to take him there when this covid quarantine is over. Any suggestions for us in the meantime would be greatly appreciated.
