Hi there, I am new to tortoise ownership. I just took a tortoise from a family member who was just keeping it in an old fish tank. It’s eyes are closed majority of the time, I’ve yet to see it eat. I did soaks already and brought it outside to sit in the sun and this resulted in him finally opening his eyes and walking, but still not eating.
I’m working on getting a terrarium and a heating element tomorrow. But I don’t know what to do to get him to eat... any advice?
My family member had got him from a neighbor who said the tortoise was being bullied by others in the enclosure so I don’t even know the breed or exactly how old, although my aunt says she thinks it’s 6 months.
Any help or advice is welcome, I’m worried I intervened too late
-thank you !
