Now since this has started I put him in the bathtub pretty constant all morning and all evening. I was told to soak him as much as possible. I have been filling it so it reaches a bit above his shell. I just keep a close eye on the temp and make sure it stays warm. Yes he goes outside in a very large yard daily for excercise.How many times per day?
How long each soak?
How deep of water?
How tall is the container..how long is the container?
Where do yo do the soaks, inside or outside?
Do you take the tort outside for exercise?

So here's mine in a fast, hip shot. I went from bringing in good, comfortable household money here to about $500 a month employment insurance money. Keep in mind on a bad week, that was my weekly minimum not monthly maximum. My future ex wife, (of who I adore) doesn't like this, so a few months or so of this and she asked me for a divorce. Mind you I've never raised my hand to this or any woman feeling it's my job to protect them. So I started working again at crap wages but something is better than nothing, right? Then a month ago I had a grande male seizure while driving home from work. I've been home out of rehabilitation since Monday and I'm still healing up. My truck was a total loss which is fine in that the state has revoked my drivers privileges for at the least 12 months. Broke vertebrae in my neck, broke some ribs, and broke my sternum. Good times, Good times, yes indeed. Oh and while I was rehabilitated my future ex orchestrated the farming out of all my tortoises. I can handle that except two Sulcatas and my pancakes.
trust me, I fully understand where you're coming from.Its breaking my heart that he's suffering and I can't help him
Sounds good...you take care. Hopefully he'll have moved something by then. Have a great nighttrust me, I fully understand where you're coming from.
Well it's time now for me to hit the bed. I'll talk with you tomorrow maybe?

Sounds good....I'll try all that. Our Sun is really limited right now because of all the smoke. But thank you so much. I will definitely try the things you mentioned that I'm not doing.How about raising the level of the water a bit...and offering the soak outdoors partially with sun exposure? We don't want the water so deep as to be a drowning hazard but we also don't want it so low that he is only plopped in and standing firmly on the bottom..a bit of toe touching is ok..this will encourage movement...and the sun exposure will rev him up a bit as well as hopefully loosen him up..just be sure to be within rescue if he should wear himself out..the soaks should be for an hour at the least and not less...will he eat anything? If yes, offer him up yummy wet foods..like watermelon, zucchini, squash..stuff he would not always get but that is enticing as well as wet..and dint give up, he literally is depending on you to be determined...
