Yes, if you think he has a broken mouthI live in an apparament and he was actually sleeping… his mouth is actually broken.. should i take him to the vet first thing in the morning?
Don't put the lid onYes, that will work for now
Thank you so much i’ll start reading right now.. i hope he will survive and I’ll do my best to give him the best environment!It looks like you have some kind of greek or hermann's tortoise. Here is a care sheet for them: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-best-way-to-raise-any-temperate-species-of-tortoise.183131/
If you have difficulty reading through that or understanding some of it, here's a shorter guide with more broken up formatting that I wrote a 5-6 years ago for a species with roughly the same care. You might find easier to follow, though I do highly recommend reading through the first one, because this one is pretty rudimentary: https://aminoapps.com/c/reptiles/pa...are-sheet/Yjo3_ornsXI17xbJ5Vq584XYlvl8VDjwQ1q
Don’t worry?? 😭😭Don't put the lid on
That's nice, just know that it is likely that your neighbor's tortoise may not be receiving the best care, so make sure you don't try to use them as a standard to go by. And definitely don't feed your tortoise breadThank you so much i’ll start reading right now.. i hope he will survive and I’ll do my best to give him the best environment!
Thank you so much
Btw just to let you know i have neighbors who had a tortoise since i was a kid till now and it was already so big that time!!
They got him since he was a little, he usually hangs out on the balcony orb sometimes at the house and he literally eats everything, even bread !
Just making sure, you never knowDon’t worry?? 😭😭
Poor little thing - I'm so sorry. Please let us know what the vet says. I'm sure everyone is wishing him
well and tortoises are very tough, so there is hope.
I will be thinking of you and of him - best wishes from Angie.
I only feed him lettuce, he only likes to eat that, no other thingThat's nice, just know that it is likely that your neighbor's tortoise may not be receiving the best care, so make sure you don't try to use them as a standard to go by. And definitely don't feed your tortoise bread
That's something else you'll have to work on. Lettuce has very little nutritional value, and these guys need a varied diet. It may take some work to get him eating the right foods if he'll only eat lettuce, but it's very much doableI only feed him lettuce, he only likes to eat that, no other thing
What other foods please?That's something else you'll have to work on. Lettuce has very little nutritional value, and these guys need a varied diet. It may take some work to get him eating the right foods if he'll only eat lettuce, but it's very much doable
It's best to lean on local edible weeds. Unfortunately I am not familiar with what grows in algeria so I can't help you much with specifics, but things like dandelions, grape leaves, mulberry leaves, plantain, clover, chickweed, and optuna (prickly pear) cactus pads are great. Check thetortoisetable.org.uk to see if a weed is edible. Endive, escarole, and arugula may be found at your grocery store, and are also a great food.What other foods please?
