Hello! My family is thinking of rescuing a tortoise that is currently on craigslist. Although we have experience with tortoises and many other reptiles, we are looking for some advice. This tortoise was found on the side of the road and was turned into a pet store. The owner of the pet store says he hasn't eaten or pooped in almost a month. It sounds like she is regularly soaking him, giving him food and keeping him under UV lights but not too much success. After doing some research, many people seem to recommend repta-boost and different mineral soaks for the tortoise. We are planning to follow this advice in hopes of improvement. We currently have a vet checkup scheduled for this coming week. If anyone has any advice on what to do before the appointment, we would love to hear it. We don't have our hopes up, but will do the best we can with correct heating, bulbs, a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables, and the repta-boost supplement. Please let us know,
Thanks
Thanks
