Help! (tortoise can't open one eye)

[ellemaxwell_]

My horsefield tortoise,Trevor!
One of his eyes won't open, or he's not opening it, he opened it for a little bit when I was bathing him but not again 😞

Help!

How long did you soak him? What are you using for substrate? What is the humidity in his enclosure? Has he gone off food?

Help!

Soaked him for about ten minutes as I thought he may just need to wipe his eye or something, he hasn't gone off anything and his humidity is how it should be! X

RE: Help!

Could be a longer soaking will help...keep the water luke warm.

Good luck.

RE: Help!

Your not using a coil bulb, right? They can cause eye problems.

RE: Helpp

What type of UVB light does he have? What is his substrate? Humidity level? How often do you soak? What do you feed him?

 

[WillTort2]

How is Trevor doing?

He's opened it and all looks ok, fingers crossed!
