Help! My Tort is tucked in her shell!

Posted by daniellecerese on April 04, 2003 at 10:24:20:

My Redfoot Tort (Daisy) is almost 2 years old. Everything has been normal until 2 days ago when we came home to find that she had pushed a log all the way across her tank. It seemed odd that she did that because that would have taken some strength. Then, my husband went to pick her up and she tucked in her shell and hissed. All that night she stayed tucked in and wouldn't come out. We finally got her to eat, but she only stuck her head out long enough to eat and then went right back in. Now, 2 days later, she is still not socializing anymore and she is keeping her head in. Can anyone help figure out what happend to her or why she is acting so strangely?? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,
Danielle
