My Russian Horsefield tortoise hasn't been eating and sleeps a lot. We had her housed in a vivarium with a male tortoise but have since moved her to an open top tortoise table with a Mercury light that provides UVB and UVA with a basking temp of around 90 degrees. We took her to a vet and they kept her overnight and done an X-ray but couldn't find anything wrong, they gave us antibiotics for her and said they think it may be a fungal infection. I'm worried because she sleeps most of the time with her head against the wall of her tortoise table, even when she's in her hide she leans against the side with her head, does anyone have any tips on what we could do to encourage her to eat and drink. At the moment am bathing her for 20 mins twice a day to make sure she has a little drink. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? She's around 12 months old.
