i have taken on 2 tortoise has a friend bought them for her daughter who didn't want them and as they didn't really pay much attention to them she gave them away. I'm having to take 1 to the vet has it won't open 1 eye and has a runny nose and is always sleeping the other if fine but i suspect its the bedding that has caused the problems as it's like gravel and is dusty i would love some advice on bedding and just the general advice on caring for them as everything they have told me has been bad advice when i looked it up on google and they didnt even know to give them calcium so wanting as much advice as possible

Hello, 

Before giving advice it's essential to know which species they are, their age & exactly what their habitat consists of.
Can you send photos of them & their set up please ?

Ideally go to a specialist vet, have a look at the "Vets & Health ...." box.
