Hello,

I have a year old red foot tortoise and I have notice that feels really light, like if it is empty or hollow from the inside.

I am worry that can probably die, any suggestions of what can I do.

Thanks,

Jorge

Have you seen it eat?

It might just mean he's dehydrated. do you soak the tortoise daily?

Sounds like she's losing weight. Double check that temps and humidity is correct. Weigh her now, so you can keep track from this point. What are you feeding?
Check out the caresheet again, and make any adjustments. You should also read the tortoiselibrary.com, good info on there from one of our members.
