Hi,
I have got a year and a half old Russian Horsefield tortoise who suddenly stopped getting out of bed and eating a few weeks a go. I am new to owning tortoises so this has worried me slightly. At first I thought it might have been the heat but have been told that the heat in his table was normal. He also isn't pooing and is very lethargic, even though I bath him regularly. I've called a specialist vet for help but live too far away to get help from them. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or knows what's happening to him, like if he's just getting ready to hibernate.
PLEASE HELP!
