Hello my lovely tortoise friends.
I am posting a photos of a “7” year old “female?” Artemis.
This is not my tortoise I am asking for some people.
Artemis woke up, won’t eat and has visible RI - clear for now.
Enclosure is Amazon open box, no UVB, heat feels like low 70s.
Had swollen eyes. I kept her in a warm water started to drink, as she was in a water longer seems the eye swelling started to her down because of all the bubbles coming out.
Recommend going up with temp to 80-85 per care sheets from the forum.
Talked about possible carrot soak.
Also the tortoise looks very “see through “.
I am not sure if maybe it’s not a time for it to be awake yet?
I recommended all of the above before going to “exotic vet”. Brought Mazuri and weeds for it.
She would open her eyes and is aware but shortly after sleeps.
Was little active in her enclosure and went to the corner that seems to be the warmest one.
When to decide that the carrot soak is needed?
I offered to help with an enclosure build.
Thank you.
