my baby tortoise won't wake up, I'm scared that he may be dead
Posted: 08/10/2015 by anyalotz

Hi my baby tortoise that I found in my garden woke up once, it has been 24 hours since he woke up and I Am worried that he is dead...his eyes are dry, his limbs aren't hanging ,his head its tucked into the shell in a way that you can only see his right side of his face...I tried everything I could but he won't move and every time I check on him his arms look like they are changing position the whole time...please reply

Hello,


Keep it warm, not hot.
Observe carefully. Don't handle.

If it moves, wait, then 30 mins later place it in tepid water to just below it's mouth, for 10 mins.

Is it yours ?
