I have an equation of Morton salt lite, baking soda. Or Gatorade? Is Gatorade safe for my Russian tort?

None of that should be necessary. Is there something wrong with your tortoise? Did something bad happen to severely dehydrate him? If not, soaking in regular water and having drinking water in a shallow bowl should be sufficient to maintain good hydration.

Thank you Tom however, this is a rescue. Ive had 2 weeks. His eyes have not opened, he has had nothing to eat and hasn't taken even a sip of water. I realize he is stressed. Ive offered him tons of different kinds of leafy greens im at a loss
