Hello community, I'm a super paranoid new tort mommy—literally everything makes me overly cautious or concerned so I apologize if I'm just seeing stuff. I've only had him a week but everything is so new to me, no none I knew has a tortoise so I've never had any experience but I have read the care sheets by Chris.
Anyhow, Bo is nearly 3months old Eastern Hermanns, has been a regular pooper (usually twice a day) but yesterday no poop, barely walked around and didn't go into his water dish that i saw so I gave him a soak before bed ( i usually only soak in the morning). He went right back to sleep after that soak and this morning I soaked him, set him in front of his food plate and he promptly fell asleep there for three hours. he just moved to where his water dish is and is sleeping there—basking spot is just over to the side, so it's warm.
I've attached some pics, are his eyes okay? there hasn't been any obvious signs of anything wrong and I know he's a hatchling and they sleep a lot, but since I've had him, Bo has not ignored food after his morning soak.
PLEASE HELP !
