Hi
I need advice on how to raise a Burmese Tortoises. I had a couple of Burmese tortoises...one about 12cm and the other 6cm. Sadly the smaller one (6cm) died today. He has been sick for the last couple of weeks due to the rainy season that we are experiencing.
FYI I keep them indoor at around of 30c and moisture at approx 60%. Regularly soaked them in water and feed them hibiscus flower, vegetables and some tortoise pellets GT Free. On a sunny day I would bring them outside for a couple of hours to get natural UV.
The bigger ones seem to be okay for now. I have him since October last year. I am pretty distress about the younger one. He was not eating for the first week and didn’t want to move at all. I thought he might have had Respiratory Infection since there is no puffy eyes or liquid coming out of his nostrils.
I was spoon feeling him the last few days until last nite he was actually eating papaya and pellets. Then today he died suddenly. I am wondering what did I do wrong here...?
Unfortunately where I am there is no vet that I can bring him. The last time I brought my Cherry head to a vet I got rejected because the vet was too busy.
