I have 3 baby leopard tortoises. Yesterday I realized two of them have puffy eyes. Is it bacteria infection or dehydrated? I frequently change water and make sure they drink. My UVB is not coil but flat round. The seller told me the lightbulb contains both UVB and heat lamps. first 2 is picture Lok, the last 2 picture is Sao. Their diet is mainly various green leaf, mix with carrot or squash. Sunday will have additional Mazuri. 1632297737048.png1632297753431.png1632297923603.png1632297953898.png

How and where are you housing them?
Are they in a small glass tank with no substrate?
Indoors or out?
Can we see a pic of the enclosure and the bulbs you are using?
How far over the torts is the UV bulb?
Do you have a UV meter?
You said 30-35 C, but where and when? What are your four temperatures? Basking area, warm side, cool side, and overnight low?
Have they ever been housed with another species?
