baby mediteranean wont eat
Posted: 21/12/2014 by mazzy1

Hi I am new to this forum.  My daughter has a baby tortoise which has stopped eating.  It is aprox 3 months old  and is kept in a tortoise table with lamps on all day and off at night.  It has two water bowls and fresh food every day with vitamin supplement.  Regular baths but seems to sleeping a lot and not eating anything last few days.  Please help very worried about her.

Hello,

Where did you obtain it ?
Can you also explain the type of heat & light you have please ?
You are right to turn the above off at night.

Did it feed vigorously initially ?

Regards,
Tom
