My sulcata baby's right leg won't extend out, like it's stuck in its leg socket.
I woke up this morning to soak her and noticed that she was limping and when she walked, one leg won't come out. I gave it a day to see if it would get better buy it hasn't. She was walking around normal just yesterday. She is eating normal and poops everyday. Her shell feels normal and she is not lethargic. I tried to touch that leg and i can still feel it move and the little pressure that her leg pushes on my finger. With three limbs right now, she is losing balance and falling more.
I think she is about 5 months old and i have been feeding her spring mix with occassional bok choy and cactus pad. I sprinkle calcium whenever I remember to. The mvb i use is only 2 months old so i hope it hasn't lost it's uv potency yet. The weather has not been ideal dor being outdoors. Her ambient temperature is around 88 degrees.
I don't know if tortoises can sprain a leg or if the situation is more serious. I'm just looking for advice on what to do. It breaks my heart to see her this way.
