My 2 yr old red-foot tortoise flipped over in the sun for around 30 min. Then when I back I flipped him back over and he started foaming at the mouth. I thought he was dehydrated so I soaked him everyday in the morning before I put him outside and after I take him back in. It has been a day or 2 now and he hasn't really been eating, he's been moving a bit but barely. I don't know what to do other make sure he's hydrated. please help

Soak with some Pedialyte in the soak water. Sounds like he over heated. He may have been out there too long to recover but keep soaking and I wouldn't put him out if it's too hot until he's doing much better.
The drink? or the powder?
I would get the liquid, didn't know they even had a powder.
