I think one of our torts is sick. She is a red foot, approximately 5 years old. We just got her about a month ago, along with another red foot, also 5 years old. They have always been together. When they came to us, the smaller one, Donatella, had a wheeze. She still has it, so I am thinking she may have had an RI? I noticed today she has watery eyes. When they came to us, both the tortoises had clear eyes. Are watery eyes a symptom for anything?
Enclosure stats:
*80.6 degrees F on the basking side,79.9 degrees F on the cool side
*64% humidity on the basking side, 76% humidity on the cool side (has plexi covering the cool side to keep in humidity.
*Keep in mind these are night temps, when their lights are not on. In the day it is much warmer/more humid.
*We also have a heat rope with rheostat.
*They have cypress mulch substrate.
*We mist the enclosure a couple times a day.
*They get regular warm water soaks.
*They get rep-cal pebbles and greens (romaine, collards, turnip greens, etc.) every day, with a sprinkling of calcium. They also have a cuttle bone.
*Donatella does not have much of an appetite, and is not very active, except after her soaks. We have to keep putting her by her food and make sure she eats. Both of them are in their hide for most of the day and take some coaxing to come out. But our other tort Grimlock seems to eat just fine.
What can we do? We are worried for her. Thank you for any help you can give.
