I have a 10 month old leopard tortoise and Ive noticed her eyes look strange to me. I'm always worried about being a good tortoise mom. I'm glad I found this forum! Could someone please look at my pics so i could get some helpful advice?
Welcome to the Forum and do you offer daily warm water soaks to your tort? The thing that I see is that your tort looks a bit dry/under hydrated....shallow warm water soaks and a shallow drinking water dish should be part of their daily routine, especially when this young...
Thanks for the warm welcome. I come with many concerns in hopes I'm raising my hatchling in the best manner I can.
She bathes herself everyday. I didn't even think to offer her warm water. Ill be excited In the morning to see her enjoying her first warm bath!
Thank you again for the torti support.
You really need to soak young tort for atleast 30 mins daily and also spray some water over them every now and then.After they grow about a year/year and half you can cutback to 3 soaks a week but continue the water spraying.But still doing all this i have seen torts that are dehydrated ,so once or twice in a month give them some watery fruits or veggies.
Hope this helps
I started bathing her. I actually had the idea to put her in a Lil turtle tub while I shower. All of her color is starting to look good and she seems to be improving fast!
