Hello all,
My husband and I received a 3 month old baby leopard tortoise last Tuesday. The little one slept a lot, didn't eat much & had a bit of white in its eyes (3rd eyelid?). We've been doing warm water soaks, pedialyte soaks & baby food soaks (carrot). But the day after we got him/her the little one seemed to keep its eyes closed & didn't move around much until after the soaks. After the soaks the little one's eyes are open & he/she seems more active. But other than that he/she stays still with eyes closed. They don't seem swollen though, maybe sunken? Not sure. Could it be dehydration? Eye infection? Something worse? Breathing doesn't seem labored. Pls help, thank you.
