I just wanted to thank the people on this forum- you have probably saved the life of our beloved tortoise. We came home to find our 18 year old female desert tortoise on her back, not moving, and terribly dehydrated. I googled the topic and found this forum's[/size][/font] suggestion to give her a warm water soak. After giving her repeated soakings to keep the water warm, she is now walking around in the warm laundry room and even nibbling some romaine lettuce. We have had her since a hatchling and would be devastated if we lost her.
We live in Tucson and have box turtles as well as our two big tortoises. Thanks again for posting good information.
