Hello everyone! I originally found this forum googling symptoms for my sulcata tortoise. Please don’t be too hard on me, I’m a very new/inexperienced tortoise parent. I’ve had my little guy since august of last year. He adapted well to the habitat I made him and we had a routine going. I’ve been on top of researching how to properly care for him and feel I’ve done at least “okay” raising him more or less blindly. My family and I took a two trips out of town and took him along. The first trip he did fine but the second we were gone a week longer than planned and when we came home he didn’t eat for a good 5 days. Now that we are home he still hasn’t eaten and now it’s been 6 days since he last opened his eyes. Again, I’m a new tortoise parent so I’ve been scrambling to try and figure out what’s wrong but I can’t seem to pinpoint it and I’m so scared he is going to die on me! Please help me. If I need to be more specific I can be, I just need some guidance for my little guy! Thank you in advance to anyone who replies!
