hey guys,im really new to this forum. Ive kept reptiles for the past 10 years, i consider myself an enthusiast. i breed snakes but i also love turtles and tortoises. i recently went to a reptile expo and found some baby sulcata tortoises, Ive been wanting one and did a lot of research so i decided to get one, well i ended up getting 2. i know how to buy reptiles and what to look for but i felt bad for them, they were in a plastic container with a hot hands pack. they had their eyes closed and weren't moving to much, i assumed it was because its winter here and it was a little cold in their. i took them home warmed them up and soaked them a few times over the next few days. they became more active and began to eat a little but they still sleep most of the time and they don't eat as much a i feel they should. they have their eyes closed a lot and when they are open they are sunken in a little, their is no discharge. they are just very lazy and don't seem so well. i have a humid hid for them i figured it might help their eyes, and they love it spending most of the time in it, i take them out and have them bask when i can. they are eating greens and timothy hay. i still soak them 2 or 3 times a day for about 15-20 min. they seem a bit better but not a lot. they also haven't pooped since i got them 4 days ago. what do you guys think?
