Ill do that again tonight, hes already drunk water and wants to get out of the bowl after about 10-15 min

sweling is going down and hes opened both eyes!

Should I mix the carrots with the water????

All the dehydration definitely makes sense now

update Dodo opened an eye! progress!

Thanks Im going to get on giving the smaller russians a space in the garden right now.

oof, I had no idea they were so sensitive, I have bred russian tortoises for at least 5 years, that's where the babies are from, and they are all the same size as Dodo if not a bit bigger, I only put them in the sun to increase Vit D, but Ill get Dodo a tank, right now I have a 33gallon thats...

My other tortoises are russian tortoises and theyre perfectly fine, the only one that hasnt been growing is Dodo who is still the size of a few-month-old hatchling. Should I not keep him outside then since the humidity in CA definitely isnt high? I have also tried to feed Dodo other things like...

hes still definitely got his eyes but theyre still shut and swollen is this possibly from dehydration???? what causes gunky dead skin like this?

yes they live in the same area and contact each other.

Also would it be fine to still keep him in the sun, to get Vitamin D which helps with the MBD? Or should I keep him inside?

I feel like Dodo has always had some problems, but its overall health has been getting worse

I'm trying not to go to a vet because I can't afford a 10k$ bill x( Ill try to upload a picture thanks for the replies.

hello, I purchased a baby leopard tortoise about a year ago, and he or she still hasnt grown much, seems to be always dehydrated, has symptoms of MBD (malleable shell and lathargicness) which I'm trying to treat, but I reecently got back from vacation and found its eyelids and skin on its front...
