Hi, I have a 4 month old horsefield tortoise. The setup in is a tortoise table, basking area is 32-33 degrees and cold area around 22-23 degrees.
The tortoise has been eating and basking as normal, yesterday he didn’t eat anything though. Have been given him daily baths, he’s seeming to flush his system out when in them too.
The tortoise hasn’t been as active lately, seems to sleep most of the day and takes ages for him to wake up. When in baths it takes ages for him to wake and get active for him to only go back to sleep after I’ve taken him out.
His diet is a range of greens (gem lettece, rocket, kale)with calcium powder every other day. We’ve also given him strawberries and red sweet pepper, but not often.
Today ive put the tortoise in his bath and he was moving, I’ve then got back to check on him and he’s not moved at all. Had read online to check if the limbs and head are in the shell, the head seems to be in his shell but the legs seem droopy. He hasn’t eaten anything today and doesn’t react even when I touch the top of his head.
what could of possibly gone wrong and what do people suggest I do? I see so much different information online I don’t know what to do...
