Update on Leonardo

[siwash]

Well, he's still alive at least!

I soaked him this eve and he pooped... must have eaten some of the Hibiscus I left out in his enclosure... it looked like it had been chewed up a bit on the edges... the last time I saw him eat was Fri so it must have been the hibiscus

at least he's getting hydrated... i see him drink when he's in the bath

i have an appointment with a vet on sat.

crossing my fingers he makes it that long

siwash, I am sending prayers and well wishes to you and Leonardo. I was just getting ready to send you a PM asking how he is doing. Thanks for giving us an update.

I feel like a bit of an idiot cause it's probably my inexperience that caused this...

Don't feel like that. After reading this post I went back and searched for your original post and I don't see anything wrong with the care you are giving Leonardo. Just bear in mind that many, many tortoise hatchlings die in the first year of their life. This is just nature. ("failure to thrive") Leonardo has a very good chance of making it because of your good care and concern.
