My tortoise hasn’t been wanting to eat.

[AndreaStasia]

Hi ! I’m new on here!

I was reading that someone asked about how their tortoise wasn’t eating for a couple days & someone posted about putting baby food in the water while their tort was soaking. How can I go about doing this? She’s a Herman’s tortoise.

Thank you !

Strained carrot baby food water soaks is for a turtle or tortoise whose eyes are swollen shut.

A tortoise, like yours, that has stopped eating is telling you that something is wrong in his environment. . . not warm enough, not enough bright light, not humid enough, dehydrated. . . you have to be the detective and figure out why.

You can begin by reading our hermanns care sheet. It can be found towards the top if our Hermanns section.
