Hi, if you have seen my other post I am really struggling right now and have lost 2 desert tortoise hatchlings this week after 3 months of seemingly no issue.
One of my remaining tortoise hatchlings is now squeaking every minute or so and flinching his head in when he squeaks. I went to the vet two days ago and told them one was sluggish so they gave me antibiotic eye drops. He passed away the next day.
I recently switched them over from a dry substrate to coco coir and am worried that the change in moisture may have been what got them sick? I dont know.
I have secluded the squeaking hatchling but do not know what to do now. Please help, I cant lose another little guy
