RE: were new

Welcome to the Forum!! May we assume that you are Sherell and Jonathan?

Is your tortoise indoors or outside? Set him up in a hospital tank by himself and make him warmer than normal. Overall about 85F degrees. Soak him every day for about 15 minutes. If you don't see any improvement, you should probably take him to a vet.

Is he still eating?
