It’s not my mine but they are homeless so I’m not surePictures of the enclosure, what bulbs do you use and temperature, what is it eating? Do you soak him in shallow warm water?
Can you take it for your friend and give it what it needs?My friend that owns the tortoise. Does it look like it’s dying
The tortoise looks very ill. It is probably being kept too cool as well as being dehydrated.My friend has a sick baby sulcata tortoise. We don’t know what’s wrong but neee advice.
You are not being rude at all. This person is clueless.Not to be rude. If your friend is homeless they probably shouldn’t have any pets. Tortoises need a lot of care
@SunnygirlI need to know if it is sick to any experts here
May I gently suggest another perspective?@Sunnygirl
You are yet another OP who has gone silent very shortly after asking for help and not answering anyone's questions. It's rather frustrating to those who are trying to give you advice to help save the tortoise.
Has this tortoise died by now or not?
Well said.May I gently suggest another perspective?
I understand the frustration around trying to help and then receiving radio silence. Perhaps OPs experience remorse, embarrassment or even shame. Perhaps we can hold grace for those who struggle and don’t know how to respond. Maybe we could just make peace with the fact that we helped the best we could, and expect nothing in return. I believe knowing the outcome may not be as important as making invaluable knowledge available to people desperate for help. Every post you and other experts make also educates the rest of us.
I say all of this in humble acknowledgment of all of your knowledge and experience. Please do not see this post as disrespect…
I hope they are embarrassed by their post ?♀️ Unless they are a child… that would explain it.May I gently suggest another perspective?
