I don't post alot, but I do read most posts. My newest tortoise, Miss. Dexter Persimmons was not doing so well. He is about 4 or 5 years old but I have only had him about 1.5 months. He started to slow down, not eating as much and his tounge didn't look as pink.
Before I got him I picked up carrot baby food just incase I needed it. Because it is posted alot to soak them with carrot food when they aren't doing so well. He didn't have bubbles coming out of his nose no wheezing but different. I have never needed carrot soaks before with my other two. I decided to give him the carrot soaks about 5 or 6 days ago. And today his tounge is pink again and he is waking up and eating more. So thank you experts! I love my tortoises. Whether I have had them for 12 years, 3 years or just a little over 1 month. Thanks again!
