Alright thank you I'll set up a new enclosure for Peanut today, and do all the right changes. Thanks for your help

Also got a few different kinds of substrate, all mentioned in this thread. And I got a cute little water dish thing with a slope so it's easy for Pea to get in and out. It looks great and they are very happy. Peanut actually had his eyes open for a little bit! Hope he gets better soon.. Also picked up 2 therms and I'm maintaining the temperatures, just for clarification, there should be a basking area about 85-90 degrees and the other side be 75 ?
Also, what kind of edible plants can I get for them?
I'll post pictures later, after dinner time

When a tortoise's eyes are either stuck shut or swollen shut, or if he just plain old won't open them, first you correct the problem, then you try to sooth the eyes with the anti-biotic ointment. No, its not crucial, but the eyes are closed because they are hurting the tortoise. The ointment will sooth them and he will open them sooner than without the ointment. Its good to have on hand. Everyone who keeps a turtle or tortoise should have a tube in their tortoise supplies.
