Hi everyone,
Recently my tortoise hasn't been eating or moving about too much. This has only started within the last week, as before that he was moving about constantly and eating almost everything I gave him.
What sort of things should I check for to identify the problem?
I'm currently soaking him every day, and the temperatures are 95F directly under basking light, 81F in mid, and 76F at cool end. Humidity stays around 70.
He looks healthy other than the skin around his right eye, which looks a bit white. The eye itself is still black.
The only thing that may be causing problems is that the weather has gotten colder recently. Temp doesn't drop below 60F in the middle of the enclosure though.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
