What is wrong with my Desert Tortoise?!?

by Yvonne
(San Jose, California, USA)

I bought my turtle a few months ago an it is now barely eating, walking, eating, or waking up. Is it sick or hurt? What can I do? Please tell me what is wrong, thank you!

Is your tortoise getting enough sunlight? If not, you need a UVB light. Without this, it will not be able to metabolize its food properly.

If you have the proper lighting and are providing the proper food, see a vet. A specialist in reptiles would be best, but any vet is better than no vet.

Keep it slow and steady.
