Baby tortoise peed a lot

[Sakshi]

I’m a new owner to red foot baby tortoise, I brought her 5 days back. she is around 15days old. I just noticed she peed a lot while she was sleeping for sitting at one time place. Also I saw her eye was a little watery. Is it normal ?

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

I'm assuming the cardboard box was just for the photo op? Here's a picture of something similar to what your new baby should be living in (but it should be bigger):



Wet eyes in the redfoot species is normal. Pee'ing is a stress thing. Being out in the open like that in that box with no cover is stressful on a baby that is prey and knows it.
