Hi everyone. I am looking for
Some advice to help me help my tortoise. We have had tim since the beginning of June this year and he is around 15 months old. He has always been really lively, constantly walking around his table, stomping in his water and climbing on his bridge. I have grown his food and he has always had a good appetite. Then around 2 weeks ago I noticed that tim hadn't moved all day or eaten. Two weeks on and he still sleeps all of the time with his head resting on the soil, he used to tuck in and burrow into the soil. I have taken him to the vet and she could not find anything obviously wrong with him except for a small number of pin worm eggs on his poo but she didn't think that that would be causing his dramatic change in behaviour. I bathe him every morning and he drinks loads in the bath but the rest of the time he sleeps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks
