I'm new here and posted how I had adopted a found leopard tortoise that I named Karoo. Well I found another one but this one isn't doing very well and I could use some help. I found this tort in about the same spot as the last one. Which makes me believe someone dumped them both and I have found them 5 months apart or there could be a large female that had escaped and laid her eggs in the wild and this two are from that clutch. They both seem to be about the same age but I don't have the experience to tell. I live in southern California and the nights are getting very cold and dry. The tort I found is very thin looking and weak. Eyes are still clear though and she had grass clippings hanging from her mouth when i found her and I had my wife pick her up from me at work and she soaked her in a warm bath which she drank from and pooped multiple times in also. We have put her in a separate cage with heat lamps with food and water but any other tips would be greatly appreciated
