Hey guys,
I have 2 star tortoises, a male and a female both are a little over 3 years. The male tortoises seems to be sick to me. His movements have become very slow. Although he still retracts his limbs inside when i startle him(just to see if he's ok) his food intake has gone very low for the past 2-3 days. and he suddenly seems to be very sick. he was fine a few days back. One more thing is his eyes swell up every now and then and his mouth is a bit open at times. I have kept him in a cardboard box with a newspaper on it. please tell me what to do. there are no tortoise vets in the area
