hey all , I bought a tortoise that is 11/2 when u got him home I noticed his eyes have a white film over them both and I can't see his eyes can anyone tell me why or what this is.
Thanks
Thanks
thank you for your reply I really hope the reptile shop didn't knowingly sell me a poorly tort I've posted a pic below.Zeropilot c84ould be right. A pet store would have wanted to get rid of it, I'm sorry to say. How about trying some movements to in front of your tort to check? Could you post some pics?
Wishes for the best of luck and a warm welcome to the forum.
Yvonne do you mean to return it to them for the money Kerrie paid? What if the pet store refuses?Hi Kerrie, and welcome to the Forum!
You should take that baby back to the shop. They sold you a very sick little tortoise. He doesn't have a white film over his eyes, they are swollen shut. He hasn't been eating or healthy for a long time.
If you want to try to get him back to health, we can probably give you some pointers, but in my opinion, he should go back to the place you got him from.
Hi Yvonne I do think it's not very well we are all a bit sad about it really and would like to help it but if it's really sick maybe it will need to go back thanks for the advice and I'll let you know how it went at the reptile shop.Hi Kerrie, and welcome to the Forum!

Hopefully I will get my money back but I feel bad for sending back there.Yvonne do you mean to return it to them for the money Kerrie paid? What if the pet store refuses?

Well I don't know what to say other than very disappointed!!! and angry at the same time. Thanks for the reply.I am very sorry to have to welcome you to Tortoise forum in this situation.
The poor little thing is clearly very sick and the pet shop have been extremely irresponsible and cruel to both you and the tortoise. It is very hard for you I'm sure.
Hope the shop are cooperative and that things work out for the best.
Worried none of them are going to healthy.Return it and get a healthy one.
Thank u.One thing to look out for when buying a tortoise is clear eyes. Healthy weight is also a good indicator of health.IMO.
