Hello all, I am very new to this tortoise owning thing. I have had my little buddy for two weeks. And he was doing well until about 3 days ago. In this time he has stopped eating, drinking and has just been sleeping. I have checked the temperature constantly being sure he is warm enough, I keep providing him with fresh greens, water in a shallow bowl and have been soaking him in hope he will feel better. We have been spot checking his enclosure and have even cleaned the whole thing and replaced with new sand. He is a desert tortoises, I am unsure of his age. I want to say maybe 6-7months. I was told at this age he should not be hibernating. i Have made an appointment with a vet but they won’t be able to see him until next Thursday. I am scared. I really feel as though he is dying. I don’t think he can make it until Thursday. It doesn’t look like signs of a respiratory infection. Anyone have any advice?
