few weeks ago i got a star tortoise hatchling..it was about 100$$..on that day when i saw him the first time,i knew i must get him cause he was so active and playful...but after i bought him,the next day he suddenly sleep alot and doesn't want to eat....all day long just sitting there basking...few weeks later i notice he got some soft shell...he was unactive not playful and whenever i picks him up he would just be in sleep mode until i let it soak he would wake up and drink...the problem is that i think my tortoise has parasite cause its 2-3 weeks he dint eat...i dont know wat to do.. im so worried...i ask the vet who was a specialist he said that it was just a vitamin deficcency...then the vet gave some vitamin through the needle..the vet say it might hurt ur tortoise ...i say ok...then the tortoise would just keep sleeping..
it was in a good home where there is uvb light,newspaper as bedding,soaked daily twice(cause the vet says so),green veggies but refuse to eat..what should i do??
