Hello all
Was hoping people who are more educated on tortoises could help as I'm worried
I noticed my redfoots neck is swollen on Sunday, it feels very soft, it goes down but then comes back up. He hasn't eaten the past couple days.
I'm going to attach some photos, it only seems to be the top part that is swollen?
What do people recommend I do?
His substrate is habistat orchid bark with some cypress mulch& leafs. Humidity is 75-85%, has a variety diet with veg & fruit. Occasional cuttle bone & temps 28⁰c. We've had him for about 3 years now, never had any problems.
Any advice welcome please
