Hello all! I am new to tortoise ownership, although I have kept turtles before. About five months ago I acquired a very sad little Sulcata Hatchling. He had a very large puncture wound in its side, a very bad respiratory infection, and worms. I probably shouldn't have brought him home, but I love lost causes. We went through lots of shots, and hundreds of dollars in vet bills. He is not currently ill in any visible way, but hasn't really grown. He does open his eyes and walk around a little bit, but he is much less active than other Sulcata I've seen.
I joined because I hope you all will be able to give me some insight into my tortoise's future, or give me some advice on how to best take care of him. I have a decent reptile vet, but i dont want to pay eighty dollars every time I want general information.
