our new 3 month old Leo has been with us for 5 days it has not eaten much since it got to us, I have not seen it drink either, eyes are closed and possibly sunken, sleeps all day & rarely moves around enclosure. we have a powersun 100 watt UVA/UVB BULB, A 150 watt CHE, substrate is cypress mulch & organic soil, cooler side of enclosure is above 80F & warmer side is above 90F with a basking area around 100F. the tort hasn't eaten much since getting to us, very little if any. we have zoo med grassland tortoise pellets, spring mix & wheatgrass we have been offering the tort. we have been giving it warm water soaks, baby food soaks, & pedialyte soaks. I believe the tort may be dehydrated.
PLEASE help with suggestions of treatment. there are no reliable reptile vets in our area, only ONE place treats reptiles & their knowledge is very limited on tortoises.
